Still looking for help on this...I followed the below instructions but I still keep getting this message...please help

W: There are multiple versions of "kernel" in your system.

This package won't be cleanly updated, unless you leave
only one version. To leave multiple versions installed,
you may remove that warning by setting the following
option in your configuration file:

RPM::Allow-Duplicated { "^kernel$"; };

To disable these warnings completely set:

RPM::Allow-Duplicated-Warning "false";

W: There are multiple versions of "gpg-pubkey" in your system.

This package won't be cleanly updated, unless you leave
only one version. To leave multiple versions installed,
you may remove that warning by setting the following
option in your configuration file:

RPM::Allow-Duplicated { "^gpg-pubkey$"; };

To disable these warnings completely set:

RPM::Allow-Duplicated-Warning "false";

W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems

You need to edit your /etc/apt.conf and add the lines that apt or synaptic is suggesting to get rid of the messages then run apt-get update or update your sources through synaptic.

Like I stated earlier, I added those lines to the conf file...Can someone check if this is correct?

RPM {
Ignore { };
Hold { };
Options { };
Install-Options "";
Erase-Options "";
// Pre-Install-Pkgs { "/usr/bin/apt-sigchecker"; };
Source {
Build-Command "rpmbuild --rebuild";
};
Allow-Duplicated-Warning "false"; {

"^kernel$";
"^kernel-";
"^gpg-pubkey$";
};
};

Change the RPM section of your apt.conf to the following,

RPM {
Ignore { };
Hold { };
Options { };
Install-Options "";
Erase-Options "";
// Pre-Install-Pkgs { "/usr/bin/apt-sigchecker"; };
Source {
Build-Command "rpmbuild --rebuild";
};
Allow-Duplicated {
"^kernel$";
"^kernel-";
"^gpg-pubkey$";
};
};

It should work ok.
