Fixes that *are* made through the update process can still have other
problems. ;-)

At first glance I can see no modification of my sources.list, rather a
file was created in the sources.list.d:

/etc/apt/sources.list.d/bryceharrington-purple-lucid.list

'sudo mv /etc/apt/sources.list.d/bryceharrington-purple-lucid.list
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/bryceharrington-purple-lucid.list.txt'

The above should make the ppa archive temporarily invisible to apt /
aptitude / Synaptic Package Manager / ...
