[Bug 1990821] Re: Cound not replace ppa repos to upgrade system

[Olivier Gayot]

Hello @ekateriner,

Looking at the logs provided, it seems that you have added multiple
third-party sources in etc/apt/sources.list.d.

AFAIK, The suggested command `ppa-purge ppa:<user_name>/<ppa_name>` only
works for launchpad PPAs, and not for third-party sources.

Could you please try to cleanup the /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ directory
first?

You can try the following command:

$ sudo find /etc/apt/sources.list.d -type f -name '*.list' -exec mv {} {}.back ';'
$ sudo apt update

And then try the upgrade again

Title:
  Cound not replace ppa repos to upgrade system

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

Bug description:
  There is an error during system update:
  ```
  This was likely caused by: 
  * 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. 
  ```
  But when I try `sudo ppa-purge ppa:<user_name>/<ppa_name>` it returns  `Warning:  Could not find package list for PPA: <ppa_name>` for all packages and `sudo apt-add-repository --remove ppa:<user_name>/<ppa_name>` 
  doesn't help too
