My file
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/private-ppa.launchpad.net_commercial-ppa-uploaders_brightness-controller_ubuntu.list
contains the following:
deb https://private-ppa.launchpad.net/commercial-ppa-uploaders/brightness-controller/ubuntu trusty main #Added by software-center; credentials stored in /etc/apt/auth.conf
I've tried every combination/permutation I can think of of "private-ppa.launchpad.net", "commercial-ppa-uploaders" and "brightness-controller" with the -p and -s options (and without either of those options) to ppa-purge, but it always fails with a message like this:
Warning: Could not find package list for PPA: commercial-ppa-uploaders/brightness-controller ppa
with the details of the hapless PPA depending on my invocation of ppa-purge.
In my file
/var/lib/apt/lists/private-ppa.launchpad.net_commercial-ppa-uploaders_brightness-controller_ubuntu_dists_trusty_Release
there is a line:
Origin: LP-PPA-commercial-ppa-uploaders-brightness-controller
but I can't think of any way to use that info to solve this problem (simply pointing ppa-purge at it gives the same error). I can't remember how I came to add this ppa, and can't seem to find a reference to it, so I guess I'm stuck with the info in my computer.
Can someone more familiar with ppa-purge than me suggest how I can purge this ppa?
Thanks
