How to remove badgerports

Asked by John Rose

I added Badgerports to my Software Sources as a result of someone suggesting it. However, I no longer want it. I note that I can use ppa-purge to remove a ppa & its installed packages. What do I do to remove Badgerports & its installed packages (reverting to standard Ubuntu Precise ones where applicable)?

PS How do I create a Launcher for Software Sources in the Unity Dash?

gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

Remove the line you added. Save the new file and close gedit and run:

sudo apt-get update

It is no longer a source of packages
