Public bug reported:
I want to purge buggy ppa that makes apt-get update to report error, but
I can't because apt-get update reports error. It's a circle.
I can remember a good times when ppa-purge didn't call for apt-get
update at all (or that was "add-apt-repository", don't remember...). And
everything was ok. I think it's just a wasting of time in the most
cases. If I wish to "apt-get update" I'd like to do it manually. But
ppa-purge does't have a way to let me avoid it.
The buggy ppa is ppa:swatchbooker/ppa. It doesn't have a Release file
for bionic for now so "apt-get update" passes the error to ppa-purge and
that's it. One can try to add this repo and then ppa-purge it on Ubuntu
bionic.
