Thank you Mark for this reference. I did not look at it. I also didn't
record the error. i needed this server / list back up asap so i
snapshot'ed the server 1st just in case and when i encountered the
issue(s), i only had limited time to resolve or restore so i didn't
spend too much time troubleshooting it. but i will try this as
referenced in your link when i can afford more possible downtime and if
the error reappears i will capture it.

Thanks for this heads up. i should also mention adding the ppa to my apt
sources fails on gpg signing key import. i had to do it manually,
searching for the key on ubuntu's keyserver.

thanks for the help.
