    ppa-purge remove custom repo with packages

    Tried to use ppa-purge to remove custom repository, e.g. https://styrion.at/apt/ but did not find a proper way to remove custom repository with installed packages. It is simple to remove repos based on Launchpad or just delete .list file and its key. But remove (downgrade) also installed packages from that repo would be needed.
    Using Ubuntu 18.04 based Linux Mint 19 with MATE desktop, 64-bit.

    Repo file content:
    Code:
    cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/styrion.list
    deb http://styrion.at/apt/ ./
    Trials:
    Code:
    ppa-purge -s styrion.at 
    ppa-purge -s styrion.at apt/ 
    ppa-purge -s styrion.at apt/ ./
    ppa-purge -s styrion.at -p apt
    ppa-purge -s styrion.at ./
    ppa-purge ppa:styrion.at/apt/
    ppa-purge "deb http://styrion.at/apt/ ./"
    ppa-purge -s styrion.at -p "deb http://styrion.at/apt/ ./"
    ppa-purge -s styrion.at -p "http://styrion.at/apt/ ./"
    ppa-purge -s styrion.at -p http://styrion.at/apt/ ./
    ppa-purge -s styrion.at -p /etc/apt/sources.list.d/styrion.list
    ppa-purge -s styrion.at -p $(cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/styrion.list)

    Re: ppa-purge remove custom repo with packages

    It appears the repository isn't a ppa and that's why the ppa-purge might not be working. If the source is removed and this is not a specific application try the following
    Code:
    sudo apt auto remove
    Code:
    sudo apt update
    If this repo is in support of one or more installed applications remove/purge the applications and then use the auto remove command. If this repo has upgraded many applications it may be better to stay with the packages from the extra repository as reverting could cause broken packages when the applications update from the official repositories.
