Update 70 -> 71 script fails on duplicity - stock install

Help with Setup/Upgrade
1

Hello, My upgrade fails on adding the PPA. I tried to add it manually but it fails that way as well. I have a stock install running on DO with no unsupported mods.

Does anyone have any ideas?

I have a similar error, both on attempting an upgrade, and when attempting to create a new box to replace the one that no longer is working:

\n If we are in the middle of an update, Launchpad will be\n back in a couple of minut es. Otherwise, we are working to\n fix the unexpected problems. Ch eck\n @launchpadstatu s\n on Twitter or\n @launchpadstatus@ubuntu.social\n on Mastodon for updates.\n

\n

\n If the problem p ersists, let us know in\n <a href="irc://irc.libera.chat/#launchpad "\n >the #launchpad IRC channel on libera.chat.\n </ p>\n

\n Technically, the load balancer to ok too long to connect to\n an application server.\n

Reload\n this page or try again in a few minutes

Found a fix here

Run the following after the error:

sudo apt-get remove --purge duplicity
sudo snap install duplicity --classic --edge
sudo ln -s /snap/bin/duplicity /bin/duplicity
sudo mailinabox

That got my box running with v71.

worked!! Thank you!
