Most of the applications contained in a PPA can be quite too bleeding edge and not as well tested as what comes with the Ubuntu repos, so the users would sometimes want to revert back to the official Ubuntu packages.This post educates you how to do it using the “PPA-Purge”.
What does it do? : ppa-purge will “reset all packages from a PPA to the standard versions released for your distribution in a single command”. So basically its like a way to “restore your system” back to the way it was before you installed packages from a PPA.
