apt-get update Duplicates Issue

So I went to run the simple apt-get update and was prompted with:

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

Obviously somehow created a duplicate but I don't recall adding any sources recently
Let alone anything resembling this, none the less I figure if a computer does something wrong 99% of the time it's due to user error.

That being said:

What'v I done now?

1. Have you tried running apt-get update again as was suggested?
2. Please post the contents of your /etc/apt/sources.list file and your /etc/apt/sources.list.d folder.
jdk

jdk

Of course I tried to update again and again with the same results.

/etc/apt/Sources.List

Code:

# 



# deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 7.5.0 _Wheezy_ - Official amd64 NETINST Binary-1 20140426-13:35]/ wheezy main



# deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 7.5.0 _Wheezy_ - Official amd64 NETINST Binary-1 20140426-13:35]/ wheezy main



deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ wheezy main

deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ wheezy main



deb http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main

deb-src http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main



# wheezy-updates, previously known as 'volatile'

deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ wheezy-updates main

deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ wheezy-updates main

deb ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free

And

etc/apt/sources.list.d Folder

Code:

drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jun 11 00:53 .

drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4096 Jun 11 00:50 ..

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  176 Jun 11 00:53 google-chrome.list

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  55 Jun 11 00:49 google.list

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root    0 Jun  7 01:35 noobslab-themes-wheezy.list

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  68 Jun  7 01:35 noobslab-themes-wheezy.list.save

Any Ideas?

Duplicate

deb ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free

You should just add contrib nonfree to all of the others, whch would give you 6 entries

Come again?
Still a novice, mind breaking that down to more simplistic terms? "all of the others" is a fairly broad statement.

Should be this

Quote:

deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ wheezy main contrib nonfree
deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ wheezy main contrib nonfree

deb http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main contrib nonfree
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main contrib nonfree

# wheezy-updates, previously known as 'volatile'
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ wheezy-updates main contrib nonfree
deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ wheezy-updates main contrib nonfree

At present your stable entry would be fine, but it is the same entry as you first entry.
Even if it didn't complain about it being a duplicate when jessie goes stable you would have broken updates.

Removed that extra bottom line all together and still received the same error.

Can you post the contents of these two files:
etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-chrome.list
etc/apt/sources.list.d/google.list
jdk

Here goes:

etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-chrome.list

Code:



### THIS FILE IS AUTOMATICALLY CONFIGURED ###

# You may comment out this entry, but any other modifications may be lost.

deb http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main

AND

etc/apt/sources.list.d/google.list

Code:



deb http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main

So I can gather we've found the duplicates, but how do we know which is delete-able without effecting anything?

I know all and hide nothing. You may delete the google.list file and keep the google-chrome.list
If you're happy please mark this thread as [SOLVED]
