If you're running a Canonical kernel, you can remove the wireguard-dkms package, because wireguard is now provided by the kernels that Canonical provides, which means wireguard will work with secureboot too and such. You can also just remove the PPA entirely from your system. The versioning scheme means that the packages in Canonical's repos will take precedence over those from the PPA. The PPA currently supports 16.04 and 14.04. Ubuntu 16.04 will be getting support from Canonical soon, at which point the PPA will then only support 14.04. And seeing as 14.04 is out of service, we may well drop the PPA entirely at this point. But those changes, anyway, are pending an official announcement when/if we choose to do that. I apologize that this transition is so awkward and poorly communicated. I've had a very difficult time in getting Canonical to follow through in a timely manner with the expectations we had for their WireGuard roll out. My hope was that the integrations to the various flavors would simply happen all together, and then we could make the PPA transition all at once. But unfortunately, it's been this slow agonizing ripping off of a bandaid, which has been very hard to motivate, the latest installment of which from this email thread is that the kernel module hit their kernels before they migrated the userspace packages from -proposed to -updates. Oh well, mistakes happen. The final step will be 16.04 support, which AFAICT is happening more or less as we speak. So despite this being more delayed than we would have liked, I still remain very optimistic that the end result will be nice and work well. We'll see!
