[George Nace <1806265@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This was finally fixed by removing the webupd8team PPA from the
repositories. I thought I had removed them completely, but one was still
checked. I also had to follow the instructions in the first answer to
the question:

https://askubuntu.com/questions/56104/how-can-i-install-sun-oracles-
proprietary-java-jdk-6-7-8-or-jre

I followed the manual download and install steps, plus the steps for
NetBeans which failed. I rebuilt my cache using the commandline in
Terminal:

> sudo apt --fix-broken install

Conclusion: I think that other developers and/or users will experience
this area and be similarly frustrated in finding the answer. Perhaps it
could in part be addressed by updating the WEB UPD8 blog referenced
below with a 2019 date in the uri. It would also be nice to have it
support HTTPS Everywhere as it doesn't convert to an https:// address on
my web browsers (Chromium or Firefox):

ppa.html

For my system you can consider this issue resolved. Feel free to contact
me if you have any questions: <gnace(at)ieee.org>
