E: The repository 'http://ppa.launchpad.net/philip5/extra/ubuntu bionic Release' does not have a Release file.
That's the problem. What do you use that PPA for?

He's added that one and the graphics PPA at some stage too. I'd stay away from PPA's unless we bundle them. Our Forum is filling up with PPA errors.

To understand what "does not have a release file" means click on the PPA link and then on "dists" and you will see that there is no package for "bionic" which is what Linux Lite is built from. No "bionic" release file means it can't be updated automatically in Linux Lite.
