12.04 - name of a ppa for ppa-purge



I know that exists the same question, but I think that in that question there isn't the answer. I have to purge some ppas, and I'm trying to use ppa-purge with this command:



sudo ppa-purge ppa:/ppa


But what is the ppa_name?? I have this (bad) sources.list.d




danielrichter2007-grub-customizer-precise.list       google-chrome.list.save                      n-muench-vlc-precise.list                 videolan-stable-daily-precise.list.save
danielrichter2007-grub-customizer-precise.list.save jockey.list n-muench-vlc-precise.list.save webupd8team-unstable-precise.list
dropbox.list jockey.list.save relan-exfat-precise.list webupd8team-unstable-precise.list.save
dropbox.list.save langdalepl-gvfs-mtp-precise.list relan-exfat-precise.list.save wine-wine-builds-precise.list
freefilesync-ffs-precise.list langdalepl-gvfs-mtp-precise.list.save thefanclub-grive-tools-precise.list wine-wine-builds-precise.list.save
freefilesync-ffs-precise.list.save lubuntu-dev-lubuntu-daily-precise.list thefanclub-grive-tools-precise.list.save
google-chrome.list lubuntu-dev-lubuntu-daily-precise.list.save videolan-stable-daily-precise.list


But I don't know the name, for example:




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


Edit

You need to look into the list files.



For instance, I have a java ppa. The list is webupd8team-java-trusty.list.



It contains:



deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/webupd8team/java/ubuntu trusty main
# deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/webupd8team/java/ubuntu trusty main



So the ppa-purge command will look this way:



sudo ppa-purge ppa:webupd8team/java


For your "lubuntu" ppa the command is:



sudo ppa-purge ppa:lubuntu-dev/lubuntu-daily



The is after http://ppa.launchpad.net/ and before the distro name.



If you still get errors, then your list is damaged. You can always add a PPA then purge it, e.g.:



sudo add-apt-repository ppa:lubuntu-dev/lubuntu-daily
sudo apt-get update
sudo ppa-purge ppa:lubuntu-dev/lubuntu-daily
