I am having a slightly ridiculous problem where a ppa added cannot be removed.
The akirad repository, (deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/akirad/akirad/ubuntu maverick main) 404s, because, I assume, it does not have a maverick version, and causes my update manager to repeatedly inform me my sources are outdated, because it cannot be reached. Because I do not care one way or another about the repo, I attempted to remove it by deleting the sources.list.d/akirad.list* files. They magically reappeared.
I then tried visiting Synaptic -> Settings -> Repositories -> Other Sources, and selecting and deleting the akirad entries that way. Wooh, they have disappeared from /etc/apt/sources.list.d/!
And yet, the next thing I know, I am being told that akirad has 404ed, and my source list is out of date.
It seems that the repo is added again every time I reboot, but I only know that that's when I *notice* it.
Does anyone know what's going on, or how to stop it?
