Thanks sampo555 for the reply. I did try the ppa-purge but it does not work. it ends up with a dependency error. I tried resolving the dependency issues but my tinkering seemed to have to influence. I might be missing something small but I cant figure it out. Let me know if there is a way to get around these dependency issues.
