I have removed all ppas as well as removing some packages via

apt remove $(apt-forktracer | grep -i ppa | awk '{print $1}')

The error does not indicate where the problem might be.

I think the issue may be that you removed the oibaf (and other) PPA(s) from your package list before using ppa-purge. Try re-adding it and then running ppa-purge.
ppa-purge will remove the PPA from your sources after reverting packages, so you do not have to do that manually.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:oibaf/graphics-drivers
sudo ppa-purge ppa:oibaf/graphics-drivers
