ppa-purge is a bash script so you could adapt it to your needs; or inspire yourself from it since it might use unusable ppa-specific searches, etc. If you remove a repository from "/etc/apt/sources.list", you can list obsolete packages with "apt-get update; aptitude search '?obsolete'" (but they might not all be from that particular repository so you might want to check before uninstalling/downgrading packages). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
