@Brian:

Here I am coming over from bug 1920829.  I was at first tempted to
comment in the original bug but the warning message on the page,
"Remember, this bug report is a duplicate of bug #1069133. Comment here
only if you think the duplicate status is wrong" prompted me to come
here.  So, here I am!

Unfortunately, I tried the ppa-purge route and failed:

$ sudo ppa-purge ppa:oibaf/graphics-drivers
Updating packages lists
PPA to be removed: oibaf graphics-drivers
Warning:  Could not find package list for PPA: oibaf graphics-drivers
$

When I looked online for ppa:oibaf/graphics-drivers, it appears that the
packages in this ppa are no longer available for Bionic.  I really don't
know what "ppa-purge" actually does but what if the ppa is no longer
available on the server?  Is that why ppa-purge didn't work?  Is there a
way to get the missing package list somewhere else?  If I can get hold
of this list, where should it be located on my system and how can I get
ppa-purge to use this specially-obtained list?

Barring that, is it possible to just force a re-installation of the
official packages that was altered when the ppa:/oibaf/graphics-drivers
was installed?  Is there a way to find out from the logs which packages
need to be re-installed?

I have a question open here as well:

There is a plethora of additional information in this question.

I would be happy if the correct answer appeared here or there!
