Well, while doing regular "package-refresh-content" it throws this:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Location https//elpa.gnu.org/packages/ is not a url nor an absolute file name")
  signal(error ("Location https//elpa.gnu.org/packages/ is not a url nor an absolute file name"))
  package--with-response-buffer-1("https//elpa.gnu.org/packages/" #f(compiled-function () #<bytecode 0x15f5309650fab0c5>) :file "archive-contents" :async nil :error-func$
  package--download-one-archive(("elpa" . "https//elpa.gnu.org/packages/") "archive-contents" nil)
  package--download-and-read-archives(nil)
  package-refresh-contents()
  funcall-interactively(package-refresh-contents)
  call-interactively(package-refresh-contents record nil)

  execute-extended-command(nil "package-refresh-contents" "package-re")
  funcall-interactively(execute-extended-command nil "package-refresh-contents" "package-re")
  call-interactively(execute-extended-command nil nil)
  command-execute(execute-extended-command)

....and I do remember ,it pops up once running the older version and I
fixed the damn thing by doing something and completely forgot that,lack
documenttation and memory ....anyway it come back again and I haven't
found a clue to fix it.

Please shed some light to get over it. In other word, kindly pinpoint
what I need to do get the damn thing working again . And this time I
shall take a note of it , if you come up with the steps precisely .

Heads up! Not sure this relevant, but thought to let ya know, you can
see ,I am sitting on Debian, but the same thing happen on Gentoo,
Slackware ..because I ran it from same source and place ...common area...

I think you are missing a colon (":") in that URL.  I'm assuming you
customized the package-archives variable, as I haven't observed this
problem with Emacs 28.1.

Can you double check your "spelling" of the URI for GNU ELPA in your
config (or share back if this error comes under emacs -q?

Kind regards,
Corwin

I'm closing this bug report, then.
