** Description changed: I created this PPA: https://code.launchpad.net/~darxus/+archive/ubuntu /linux-firmware-daily/ It contains a linux-firmware package. This package Provides/Conflicts/Replaces amd64-microcode. Because the upstream source for this package also contains the contents of the amd64-microcode package, so I'm including it. But the ubuntu packages split those files off into the separate package because of licensing. So when you install this PPA, it upgrades to the linux-firmware package from the PPA, and uninstalls the amd64-microcode package. Nice and clean. Then I tried purging it. Which should downgrade the linux-firmware package to the version from the ubuntu archives, and reinstall the - amd64-microcode. But instead, it uninstalls the packages that depended - on it. Specifically the REMOVED section: + amd64-microcode package. But instead, it uninstalls the packages that + depended on it. Specifically the REMOVED section: # ppa-purge ppa:darxus/linux-firmware-daily Updating packages lists PPA to be removed: darxus linux-firmware-daily Package revert list generated: - linux-firmware/focal + linux-firmware/focal - Disabling darxus PPA from + Disabling darxus PPA from /etc/apt/sources.list.d/darxus-ubuntu-linux-firmware-daily-focal.list Updating packages lists Reading package lists...
