Cannot update to Zorin 17.2 Pro

I cannot upgrade from Zorin 16 pro to 17 pro. I have paid and have a service code. When running the updater I keep coming back to the same error and have no clue of to surpass this... any ideas out there are welcome... I really want to stay on Zorin as an alternative to Mint on my other computer... I get the below log codes..

Welcome to the Forum!

It seems that the Brave Repo is the Main Problem. You could deactivate it and try it again. If this shouldn't be enough, You would have to delete the Repo entirely, upgrade and then add it again.

Please try this first and then look if it upgrades. If the multiple Configuration Thing should block it then, we care about it then.
