[Bug 1989127] Re: Cannot upgrade my Ubuntu 18.04 to 20.04

[Brian Murray]

There is actually a separate command called 'ppa-purge' from the package
ppa-purge which you need to use to downgrade the packages provided by a
PPA to the package versions provided by the Ubuntu archive.  The command
would look something like:

sudo ppa-purge -o xorg-edgers

Where xorg-edgers is the owner of the PPA which you want to remove.

Title:
  Cannot upgrade my Ubuntu 18.04 to 20.04 due to a PPA

Status in ubuntu-release-upgrader package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  When I try to upgrade my ubuntu using the command 'sudo do-release-upgrade' I get the following error:
  "Unofficial software packages not provided by Ubuntu 
  Please use the tool 'ppa-purge' from the ppa-purge 
  package to remove software from a Launchpad PPA and 
  try the upgrade again."

  I have tried to remove the ppa package, but it seems that when I run
  the command "sudo apt --purge autoremove" it says "0 upgraded, 0 newly
  installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded."

  Any help would be appreciated.
