Bug description:
Impact
------
As announced, the GNOME3 PPAs for Ubuntu 16.04 LTS are no longer being
maintained as of April 2017. Therefore, the Ubuntu GNOME project would like to
stop receiving bugs from packages installed from those PPAs for that version,
or for 14.04 LTS which is no longer supported by Ubuntu GNOME.
See https://launchpad.net/~gnome3-team/+archive/ubuntu/gnome3
Test Case
---------
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
Ubuntu 14.04:
ubuntu-bug gnome-system-monitor
Ubuntu 16.04:
ubuntu-bug nautilus
What should happen:
After several moments, you should see a popup with
The GNOME3 PPA you are using is no longer supported for this Ubuntu release.
Please run "ppa-purge ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3".
Clean up:
sudo apt install ppa-purge
sudo ppa-purge ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3
Other Info
----------
Ubuntu GNOME has always installed ppa-purge by default.
Regression Potential
--------------------
People will be unable to report bugs with PPA packages like they used to but
they'll be told why. The message unfortunately likely won't be translated right
away, but since it will land in the development release, it should eventually
be translated for future Ubuntu releases.
