Bug Description

Binary package hint: ppa-purge

I run a up to date maverick, and i tried to remove a ppa. This is what I got...

$ sudo ppa-purge ppa:loneowais/ppa
PPA to be removed: loneowais ppa
Package revert list generated:
 gmailwatcher/maverick

Disabling loneowais PPA from /etc/apt/sources.list.d/loneowais-ppa-maverick.list
Running apt-get update
W: GPG-Fehler: https://private-ppa.launchpad.net maverick Release: Die folgenden Signaturen konnten nicht überprüft werden, weil ihr öffentlicher Schlüssel nicht verfügbar ist: NO_PUBKEY 2AF0E92042F834EC

aptitude is since maverick not installed by default, so ppa-purge should set as dependency correctly. Besides that ppa-purge should check first if a source can be deinstalled correctly and then remove the source, because after i installed aptitude by hand i was not able to remove the PPA including the package which was installed out of this ppa...

$ sudo ppa-purge ppa:loneowais/ppa
PPA to be removed: loneowais ppa
