How do I edit out a stray "2" from the line "/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/00recommends in xfce18.2"?
I cannot download app updates or open some other functions because of the stray "2" (I don't know how the "2" got entered on the line)
Thanks

Code: Select all
sudo nano /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/00recommends
Mine contains 2 lines:
Code: Select all
APT::Install-Recommends "false";
Aptitude::Recommends-Important "false";

APT::Install-Recommends "false";
Aptitude::Recommends-Important "false";
Yes--same here
