Good question. I've never tried ppa-purge. Judging from the manual page it should work fine, since it's supposed to replace the PPA packages with older official versions from the main archive. > I would also like to ask you if you have done a major update with that > PPA enabled, or if you simply do a clean install between Ubuntu > versions? I use Update Manager to upgrade to a newer Ubuntu version without running ppa-purge first. I'm technical enough to believe that I can manage to recover from a broken upgrade, if something goes wrong.
