Public bug reported:
When removing a ppa with software-properties-gtk or with : `sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:xxx/yyy ` it merely empties the file one wants to remove and leaves an empty theuglyppa.list file in `/etc/apt/sources.list.d/` This seem quite illogical to keep such residue especially for newbies who won't know that they should add : `sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/theuglyppa.list* ` to their cleaning procedure. Could the removal actually remove ? ** Affects: software-properties (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Summary changed: - add-apt-repository --remove & software-properties-gtk delete PPA files + add-apt-repository --remove & software-properties-gtk do not delete PPA files -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to software-properties in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1717522 Title: add-apt-repository --remove & software-properties-gtk do not delete PPA files Status in software-properties package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: When removing a ppa with software-properties-gtk or with : `sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:xxx/yyy ` it merely empties the file one wants to remove and leaves an empty theuglyppa.list file in `/etc/apt/sources.list.d/` This seem quite illogical to keep such residue especially for newbies who won't know that they should add : `sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/theuglyppa.list* ` to their cleaning procedure.
