Can't remove vysor language updates from `apt-get update`
I have removed the package vysor in every possible way on ubuntu using
sudo apt-get remove vysor
-
sudo apt-get purge vysor
andsudo apt-get --purge vysor
andsudo apt-get --purge autoremove
sudo snap remove vysor
- I see nothing after
dpkg --list | grep vysor*
but whenever I runsudo apt-get update
the languages updates withIgn:23 https://nuts.vysor.io/apt ./ Translation-en
always wastes my 10 seconds.
How can I get rid of this?
The installation instructions on the website vysor.io cause a vysor.list
file to be added in your /etc/apt/sources.list.d
directory. The list file contains a link to the vysor
repository. Although you have removed the package itself, the .list
file is still there and will be consulted by apt
every time you look for updates. Of course, no relevant update is found.
The way to avoid the .list
file being read is to remove it. Another way would be to rename it to something like vysor.link.backup
in case you change your mind, as only files with the .list
extension are read.
Sensible uninstall
instructions would include this bit of information.
