I think (maybe) the problem is finally fixed with v0.6.8.1
As you know, "ppa-purge" used "aptitude". I have updated the system with the Xorg Edgers PPA repository. I installed "aptitude" v0.6.8.1 in Kubuntu 12.04 Precise. Then ppa-purge has been able to resolve dependencies. It uninstalled google earth and its :i386 dependencies but I have yet some i386 packages installed and the system is not broken.
To install aptitude v0.6.8.1 on Precise, you go to Ubuntu Packages:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/
And search and download the following packages for "Quantal" (not for Precise):

apt
libapt-pkg
libboost-iostreams
libept

Then download from the link posted by Marcin Juszkiewicz ( http://tygrysek.juszkiewicz.com.pl/~hrw/ubuntu ) the next packages:

aptitude-common
aptitude

Save all packages in the same folder. Open the terminal in that folder and install with:

sudo dpkg -i *.deb

Thanks to the developers and creators of the patch.
