W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems
My sources.list in /etc/apt/sources.list looks like this:

Code: Select all

deb http://packages.linuxmint.com/ debian main upstream import
deb http://mirror.metrocast.net/linuxmint-debian/latest testing main contrib non-free
deb http://mirror.metrocast.net/linuxmint-debian/latest/security testing/updates main contrib non-free
deb http://mirror.metrocast.net/linuxmint-debian/latest/multimedia testing main non-free

#dropbox
deb http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian squeeze contrib non-free

#Pipelight for Unity3d
deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/DarkPlayer:/Pipelight/Debian_7.0/ ./
I don't see any duplicate entries, any ideas?

Thanks

Re: Duplicate entries in sources.list

Post by Mute Ant »

Is apt using an /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ folder as well as an /etc/apt/sources.list file? Instead of a single file with all the entries, the .d mechanism allows multiple file-fragments to represent a file. It makes it easier to merge and modify single lines, but can duplicate entries if there is a file X at the same time as a folder X.d/

[If it works, don't mend it]

Hello, vock.

The output of

Code: Select all

inxi -r
will give you the complete list of all software sources entries which your system will use, inclduing the duplicate entries.

Kind regards,
Karl
