Asked by Snooper

When will the Chromium PPA be CORRECTLY updated?
There is NO INFORMATION (That is NOT OUTDATED) in the Ubuntu Help addressing how to get the CORRECT current PPA.

If you have problems with a PPA you have to contact the provide of that PPA.

PPAs are "Personal Package Archives" outside the responsibility of the Ubuntu developers amd Canonical.
The responsibility lies fully in the hands of the provider of the PPA.

Since Ubuntu is not responsible for PPAs, you cannot expect to find instructions on Ubuntu Help "how to find the correct PPA". All Ubuntu Software is in the Ubuntu repositories, and not in PPAs.

In your case:
go to https://launchpad.net/~libratbag-piper/+archive/ubuntu/piper-libratbag-git
You will see a hint what to do in case of questions, but you should also be able to see that that PPA does not provide software for Ubuntu xenial. Who told you to add this PPA? It does not work with Ubuntu xenial!

And for the "NO_PUBKEY" message: Just do a web search for that message and you will see hundreds of instructions how to correct that with an "apt-key ..." command.

Can you help with this problem?
