I've uninstalled emacs package with Emacs 27.1 via sudo apt purge emacs before installation of new Emacs. After that I've done sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kelleyk/emacs && sudo apt update. At the and I ran sudo apt install emacs28 and obtain the following error (Does it mean that package is broken?):
