Duplicate sources.

[duncan222]

I am getting the following in terminal after running apt-get update,

Packages. Linuxmint.com/olivia amd 64
Packages Linuxmint.com/olivia i386

along with the message duplicate package and to run apt-get update but this does not clear it
Please advise.

Please run the following command on the terminal and share the output here (you can copy text from the terminal, see its Edit menu):

NB Except that running Apt-get update does not correct this.

PS Thanks for your response.

The files /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mint.list and /etc/apt/sources.list.d/official-package-repositories.list both have an entry for the Linux Mint repository, conflicting. As I assume somehow that first file was added, as the latter file is the official one, please just remove that first file. You can do so with this command run from the terminal, which will ask for your password to confirm (note that you get no feedback from typing a password in the terminal):

Code: Select all

sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mint.list

Afterwards Update Manager or `apt update` should both work fine again.

Thank you for that.
Error message now gone.
