Yes. I really have no idea of where some of those ppa's have come from and I may just go in and wipe out anything that's in the file and hope for the best. I can always replace those that I really need.(I hope.)
Someone else may have another idea that may help also. I did discover that I can compile a LaTeX file with knitr---which does not work but at least it does not bomb. However, I have no idea what that means.
