Removal of mesa drivers

[fbranki]

a few weeks ago I installed the mesa drivers using the command:
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:paulo-miguel-dias/mesa
sudo apt update
sudo apt install xserver-xorg-video-amdgpu mesa-utils
now my update does not install the libdrm package
my graphics card is old so now I know it's a mistake to install a new driver that does not support my graphics card
when I update my libdrm package it gives the following error
E: /var/cache/apt/archives/libdrm-common_2.4.88+git1711071511.cfe0ae5~x~padoka0_all.deb: trying to overwrite '/usr/share/libdrm/amdgpu.ids', which is also in package libdrm-amdgpu1:amd64 2.4.85+git1710261343.61ff977~x~padoka0
how do I uninstall it and purge all this so that my system updates the libdrm package and not worry about driver's problem. Thank you in advance for your help!

The PPA site has reversion instructions including specific to removal from MINT.

Thank you for your promp answer but that didn't work it says ppa-purge command not found.

Did you install ppa-purge, per instructions?

Easier method to try: launch the application Software Sources. Click on the PPA button and remove the PPA. Then click on the Maintenance button: one of the options should be the removal of foreign packages.

sudo dpkg -i --force-overwrite

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install -f

DO NOT use that command in Mint. Use the software sources tool to downgrade foreign packages.
