Can't Remove apt Repository on Mint 17
 
Hi all,

I can't seem to remove a repository from apt that I added earlier today:

Code:
~ $ sudo add-apt-repository -r ppa:moorkai/cinnamon

Usage: add-apt-repository [options] repository

add-apt-repository: error: no such option: -r
~ $ sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:moorkai/cinnamon

Usage: add-apt-repository [options] repository

add-apt-repository: error: no such option: --remove
I'm on Mint 17 x64.

Just remove it manually:
Code:
# rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/<name of repository>
It will probably be called "moorkai.list" or something (I don't use Mint)...

EDIT: Actually, it may be added directly to /etc/apt/sources.list -- look for these lines and comment them out (put a "#" symbol, without the quotation marks, at the start of the line):
Code:
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/moorkai/cinnamon/ubuntu utopic main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/moorkai/cinnamon/ubuntu utopic main
Make sure you use `apt-get update` after changing your sources.

Perfect! That did it. Thanks! :D :D
