Thanks! That works like I expect in both Ubuntu GNOME 16.04 and 17.04. Screenshot of 16.04 attached.

Therefore, the Ubuntu GNOME project would like to stop receiving bugs from packages installed from those PPAs for that version, or for 14.04 LTS which is no longer supported by Ubuntu GNOME. See https://launchpad.net/~gnome3-team/+archive/ubuntu/gnome3 Test Case --------- sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3 sudo apt update sudo apt upgrade Ubuntu 14.04: ubuntu-bug gnome-system-monitor Ubuntu 16.04: ubuntu-bug nautilus What should happen: After several moments, you should see a popup with - The GNOME3 PPA is no longer supported for this Ubuntu release. Please run ppa-purge ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3 + The GNOME3 PPA you are using is no longer supported for this Ubuntu release. Please run "ppa-purge ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3". Clean up: sudo apt install ppa-purge sudo ppa-purge ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3 Other Info ---------- Ubuntu GNOME has always installed ppa-purge by default. Regression Potential -------------------- People will be unable to report bugs with PPA packages like they used to but they'll be told why. The message unfortunately likely won't be translated right away, but since it will land in the development release, it should eventually be translated for future Ubuntu releases. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1689093 Title: Drop ubuntu-gnome hook for trusty, xenial To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apport/+bug/1689093/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
