Someone wrote a python script to resolve such issues. The warnings don't affect the system, they are just warnings.

How can I fix apt error "W: Target Packages ... is configured multiple times"?

[zenzen]

Interesting, second report of the same issue in less than 24 hours... I wonder if these are related:

Unknown message when updating in terminal

Linux novice here. Installed Zorin 17 a few months ago, all seems to be working well. I usually let the software updater take care of updating, but thought I would use the terminal after a long time. Got this very long message that I don't understand. It seems like it is telling me there is a problem, hope someone can help me out. gary@gary-HP-Z420-Workstation:~$ sudo apt-get update [sudo] password for gary: Hit:1 https://ocean.surfshark.com/debian stretch InRelease Hit:2 https://brave-…

[Ponce-De-Leon]

I have that after every new fresh Installation of Zorin 17 and have to correct that. Maybe it is a Bug. And that isn't the first Time, I see it here in the Forum.

[gmbhome]

Considering my level of knowledge, I think I will leave well enough alone. Thank you, though.

[Ponce-De-Leon]

Maybe I'm a bit too paranoid, but to use a Script from ''someone from the Internet'' should be done carefully.

Thanks ..... I read that info yesterday but not being computer savvy and know nothing about scripts I just left it alone .... seem interesting that this problem goes back 8 years and it is still causing problems today .....

It had to be an update as I just had an update the day before but didn't use the sudo update command until yesterday ......

[Frog]

Thanks for that info I will revert back to the solutions given on that thread as it seemed to work for the OP ......

After reading the replies on that thread I can concur that Brave Browser always has a warning but I have just ignored it for years ..... but with this many it was a bit over whelming .....

I keep you guys informed on how I'm doing .....

I guess being computer illiterate like me does have its advantages ..... LOL

Unknown message when updating in terminal

This long Warning is a multiple Configuration Thing. To solve that, open the Terminal and type: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list.d/archive_uri-http_archive_ubuntu_com_ubuntu_-jammy.list In the following Window go to Line 4 and sett a # at the Beginning of the Line. Then type ctrl+o to save the Change, Enter to confirm and ctrl+x to close. Then back in the normal Terminal make a sudo apt update again and then it should runs without the Messages. The Brave Thing is because Brave itself don't add…

To Ponce-De-Leon .......

Thank you sir that did the trick ..... all the warnings are now gone except of course Brave Browser ..... which I have lived with for about a year so no big deal ......

Thanks also to zenzen for pointing me to the thread about this topic which I linked above ..... and thanks to everyone who answered my post .....

[swarfendor437]

Thought I would change the parameters of my search to how to prevent such occurrences happening in the first place. Whilst most of us are not sys admins of servers, thought I would share this interesting nugget:

What is the benefit of /etc/apt/sources.list.d over /etc/apt/sources.list

[Ponce-De-Leon]

The Thing is that in the Description on the Brave Website for adding the Repo the Addition arch=amd64 is missing. You have there the Command:

echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/brave-browser-archive-keyring.gpg] https://brave-browser-apt-release.s3.brave.com/ stable main"|sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/brave-browser-release.list

And this arch=amd64 belongs in the square Brackets. So it would be this:

echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/brave-browser-archive-keyring.gpg arch=amd64] https://brave-browser-apt-release.s3.brave.com/ stable main"|sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/brave-browser-release.list

[Frog]

@Ponce-De-Leon

echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/brave-browser-archive-keyring.gpg arch=amd64] https://brave-browser-apt-release.s3.brave.com/ stable main"|sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/brave-browser-release.list

I will reinstall Brave and let you know .... thanks
