[ Impact ] Currently ppa-purge fails to purge packages on distribution using the deb822 source format. Currently mantic and noble make use of this format and are affected by this issue. When running ppa-purge to remove a custom PPA, ppa-purge fails to disable the custom PPA since it cannot disable deb822 sources and leads to apt still querying the ppa when running: $ apt update In older versions of ubuntu, PPAs used the ".list" format which could be disabled by simply commenting out the "deb" line with a "#". This was the method that ppa-purge used to disable PPAs. This new patch allows ppa-purge to detect and disable deb822 source files by adding an "Enabled: no" field in each component section of the deb822 file. It also removes any line that starts with "Enabled:" to make sure the resulting file is clean. [ Test Plan ] The changes were tested on both mantic and noble in a lxc container using the oibaf mesa PPA (https://launchpad.net/~oibaf/+archive/ubuntu/graphics-drivers) as the test PPA. The following steps were recorded in a noble lxc container. - First make sure that mesa-utils is installed in your environment: $ sudo apt update && sudo apt install mesa-utils - Add the oibaf PPA to your system using the following command: $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:oibaf/graphics-drivers - Make sure that the mesa-utils packages were upgraded after adding the PPA: $ sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade $ dpkg - l | grep mesa - output should be similar to the following: ii libegl-mesa0:amd64 24.1~git2402280600.41722c~oibaf~n amd64 free implementation of the EGL API -- Mesa vendor library ii libgl1-mesa-dri:amd64 24.1~git2402280600.41722c~oibaf~n amd64 free implementation of the OpenGL API -- DRI modules ii libglapi-mesa:amd64 24.1~git2402280600.41722c~oibaf~n amd64 free implementation of the GL API -- shared library ii libglx-mesa0:amd64 24.1~git2402280600.41722c~oibaf~n amd64 free implementation of the OpenGL API -- GLX vendor library ii mesa-utils 9.0.0-2 amd64 Miscellaneous Mesa utilities -- symlinks ii mesa-utils-bin:amd64 9.0.0-2 amd64 Miscellaneous Mesa utilities -- native applications ii mesa-vulkan-drivers:amd64 24.1~git2402280600.41722c~oibaf~n amd64 Mesa Vulkan graphics drivers - Install and run ppa-purge: $ sudo apt install ppa-purge $ sudo ppa-purge ppa:oibaf/graphics-drivers - ppa-purge will report at the end that none of the oibaf packages need to be downgraded/removed: .... libglapi-mesa is already the newest version (24.1~git2402280600.41722c~oibaf~n). libglapi-mesa set to manually installed. libglx-mesa0 is already the newest version (24.1~git2402280600.41722c~oibaf~n). libglx-mesa0 set to manually installed. mesa-vulkan-drivers is already the newest version (24.1~git2402280600.41722c~oibaf~n). mesa-vulkan-drivers set to manually installed.

[ Where problems could occur ] - Patch could fail to disable the PPA if an "Enabled: yes" entry was not detected and removed or if no Components line was found. This would cause ppa-purge to fails again in the same manner it is currently failing. - The patch could also fail to detect the file in its entirety if the file name does not end with ".sources" or if its name does not follow the pattern $PPAOWNER/$PPANAME [Original Description] Test Case --------- From Ubuntu 23.10: sudo apt install hello sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jbicha/temp sudo apt upgrade apt policy hello sudo ppa-purge ppa:jbicha/temp apt policy hello reveals that the PPA version of hello is still installed Also /etc/apt/sources.list.d/jbicha-ubuntu-temp-mantic.sources is still present and active What Should Happen ------------------ ppa-purge should disable the PPA and reinstall any PPA packages with the version apt currently sees. Background ---------- add-apt-repository creates deb822 sources lists, starting in Ubuntu 23.10 https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/spec-apt-deb822-sources-by- default/29333 Other Info ---------- add-apt-repository has a --remove option But it does not do the reinstall part which is important Honestly, that feature is so important, I suggest that add-apt-repository take over the functionality of ppa-purge so that we always get the ppa-purge behavior To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ppa-purge/+bug/2036761/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
