Problems upgrading from Zorin 16.3 to 17 Pro

Hi everyone,

I just purchased a license for Zorin 17 Pro and tried upgrading my existing 16.3 OS via the 'Upgrade Zorin OS' service, however I keep getting failure messages and I don't know how to interpret them. Zorin support has not helped at all. I'm hoping someone here might be able to tell me what's going wrong. In particular, I see a recurring phrase that something is configured multiple times but I don't know how to fix this. Thanks for any help anyone has!

Here's the error message below:

Welcome to the Forum!

It seems that there are 2 Repo's that make Problems. The Brave One and this R One. You could try to delete them for now and add them again later after the Upgrade.
