    Upgrader Fails -- bug in updater or ppa-purge?

    The upgrader to 24.04 fails. It says I need to purge my ppa's with ppa-purge.

    So I installed ppa-purge, and used the instructions here to get a list of ppa's and purge them, like so:

    Code:
    find /etc/apt/sources.list.d -type f -name "*.list" -print0 | while read -d $'\0' file; do awk -F/ '/deb / && /launchpad/ {print "sudo ppa-purge ppa:"$4"/"$5}' "$file"; done
    which gives this list

    sudo ppa-purge ppa:lutris-team/lutris
    sudo ppa-purge ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair
    Running those commands seems to work, but the list doesn't change, so they must not be deleted from the drive, though I don't know if they are being disabled in some other way.

    The updater gives the same error and suggest I run "ubunutu-bug ubuntu-release-upgrader-core" to report a possible bug (done).

    However, I'm not sure if the problem is a bug in the updater or in ppa-purge, since I don't see direct evidence of the the later doing anything.

    Hope you backed up your 22.04 before you tried the upgrade.
    I did (thankfully) and this morning put the backup SSD in and am running on it now.
