#!/bin/bash
# This script requires package "apt-show-versions" that will be installed if not present.
# This script asks user to remove packages that don't belong to main ubuntu repository.
# In other words , seeks for packages installed from all PPA installed , and asks the user if want to remove or not.
# with this script you can remove some or all packages of a given PPA , and also in later part of script will ask
# user if wants to remove PPA configuration forever from system.
# This script also will search for orfan packages, packages than went removed from main Ubuntu repository , but
# somehow is still installed on system. the user will have the option to delete those.
#don't forget to add valid values in configuration part of the script.these values can be obtained doing a
#apt-cache policy <package> , being the selected package , one from the main ubuntu repositories.
#the values pre-configured in the script should work well for most cases.
#from my /etc/apt/sources.list , deb http://pt.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ wily universe , the default value used ;
# archive.ubuntu.com will match most of the cases , using mirrors from any other country. just ubuntu.com/ubuntu
#or ubuntu.com would be a safe string choice too.
# feedback , bugs or new implementations , please email ubuntu-cleanup@outlook.pt
# Version 1 - 15/1/2016

# / apt-get update to /var/log/syslog
# improvement in function list_packages_and_prompt_user variable $extraction2 . was causing a bug in some cases. now fixed.
