Key Changes Made: Fixed the incomplete function - All functions are now properly closed with } Improved APT_UPDATE_WITH_SKIP function - Now uses a safer approach: Temporarily moves PPA files containing "launchpad" to a backup directory Runs apt update without those PPAs Restores the PPAs after the update completes This ensures Launchpad PPAs are only skipped temporarily Added proper error handling - The script now properly handles cases where PPA files might not exist # Normal maintenance (includes all PPAs) sudo ucaresystem-core # Skip Launchpad PPAs (useful during attacks/outages) sudo ucaresystem-core --skip-ppa-launchpad # Skip Launchpad PPAs and then reboot sudo ucaresystem-core --skip-ppa-launchpad -r # Combine with debug mode sudo ucaresystem-core --skip-ppa-launchpad -x
