[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

I've uninstalled emacs package with Emacs 27.1 via sudo apt purge emacs
before installation of new Emacs
<https://launchpad.net/~kelleyk/+archive/ubuntu/emacs>. After that I've
done sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kelleyk/emacs && sudo apt update. At the
and I ran sudo apt install emacs28 and obtain the following error (Does it
mean that package is broken?):
