No, I meant Packet Cache Clean. It clears any old cached package downloads and is safe to use.
It may be that on your system there is nothing in the cache, so this option isn't being shown by Lite Tweaks. If so, apologies for any confusion.
Package System Repair re-builds the package source lists - aka the repositories. It is rated 'Caution' because it changes system files.
This would have been the next suggestion to try.
Please can you re-run the command
so that we can compare before and after.
Running update/upgrade now looks a bit better.
I don't remember seeing
http://archive.canonical.com/ from the list before.
So the implication is that Package System Repair may have added it. I think I've seen a previous thread in which
http://archive.canonical.com/ was causing a problem but we could not work out why it was there. I'll try to find that thread.

This is the thread
https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/showt...=canonical
Just ran the Package System Repair on a test set up and
http://archive.canonical.com/ got added.
Running the lite update/upgrade process directly afterwards failed complaining about the canonical archive
To fix this
Click Menu and type 'software & updates' into the search box - when you see 'Software & Updates' offered as a choice, click on it
Select 'Other Software' tab
Uncheck any entries for 'http://archive.canonical.com/ noble'
Enter your password when asked
Click Close and then Reload to refresh the cache
When complete, retry the update/upgrade
