Well, the good news is that for µTox you have the right repo. Bad news
is that I have no idea why µTox doesn't work.

Feel free to try with qTox: https://github.com/qTox/qTox

As for "purging", yes, it is possible, but due to the nature of package
managers that's usually completely unnecessary, unless the user messes
something up badly in the system.

I.e. in your case it's most likely unnecessary and would change nothing.
