  • I have installed vulkan-headers package from mentioned PPA on clean cosmic VM, then ran ppa-purge. I can't reproduce your problem. To be completely sure please add output of apt-cache policy ppa-purge and aptitude search '~O LP-PPA ?installed' to the question.

  • I have had typo with aptitude - correct is aptitude search '~O LP-PPA ?installed' .

  • For me it seems that you have some corruption of local ppa file-list files - you can check their contents manually (on /var/lib/apt/lists/ppa.launchpad.net_graphics-drivers_dev_ubuntu_dists_cosmic_* path) or by greping for install word - grep -w 'install' /var/lib/apt/lists/ppa.launchpad.net_graphics-drivers_dev_ubuntu_dists_cosmic_* .

  • @N0rbert these files do not contain the string install-. I checked them manually and ran the proposed grep command.

I'm looking for a fix so that the automated downgrade routine by ppa-purge completes or a contact to the PPA provider so that I can inform them about the issue.

  • I have installed vulkan-headers package from mentioned PPA on clean cosmic VM, then ran ppa-purge. I can't reproduce your problem. To be completely sure please add output of apt-cache policy ppa-purge and aptitude search '~O LP-PPA ?installed' to the question.

  • For me it seems that you have some corruption of local ppa file-list files - you can check their contents manually (on /var/lib/apt/lists/ppa.launchpad.net_graphics-drivers_dev_ubuntu_dists_cosmic_* path) or by greping for install word - grep -w 'install' /var/lib/apt/lists/ppa.launchpad.net_graphics-drivers_dev_ubuntu_dists_cosmic_* .

  • @N0rbert these files do not contain the string install-. I checked them manually and ran the proposed grep command.
