Hello Jeff :slightly_smiling_face:

The PPA is deprecated, and there were never any packages uploaded for Ubuntu Focal.

Following the instructions on https://certbot.eff.org/ will lead you to the official installation method.

Are you the ghost in the machine? You responded in time for me to erase my ping without getting the revision pencil.

You guys are the best! I am almost certain that you already informed me of this too but I fell victim to the stale clickbait on the interweb when rebuilding my server. I am good now so thank you.
