Public bug reported:
It believes I have ppa packages but I went through the steps to remove
them and the upgrader still thinks they are there. Can't the upgrade
program do this itself or provide an over ride? I dont know how to
proceed. Steps I did:
There is no built-in option in the do-release-upgrade command to ignore
Personal Package Archive (PPA) packages during the upgrade process.
However, there is a workaround that you can use to achieve this:
First, you should disable all PPAs on your system. This can be done
by editing the configuration files in the /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
directory and adding a # at the beginning of each line that starts with
deb. For example, you can run the following command to disable all PPAs
on your system:
sudo sed -i 's/^deb/# deb/g' /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*
Next, update the package list by running the following command:
sudo apt-get update
Now, run the do-release-upgrade command as usual to start the
upgrade process
