Duplicate sources.list

Asked by Matt (Free Geek Intern)

The following bug is for Ubuntu 8.04 - the Hardy Heron.

A little background, Free Geek is a non profit that refurbishes older computers and preloads them with Ubuntu to give to the community in Portland, Or. On each fresh image of Unbuntu 8.04, an error is given when the following command is ran:

wget -q http://packages.medibuntu.org/medibuntu-key.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add - && sudo apt-get update

The error is:
======================
 W: Duplicate sources.list entry http://us.archive.ubuntu.com hardy/main Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/us.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_hardy_main_binary-i386_Packages)
W: Duplicate sources.list entry http://us.archive.ubuntu.com hardy/restricted Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/us.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_hardy_restricted_binary-i386_Packages)
W: Duplicate sources.list entry http://us.archive.ubuntu.com hardy/universe Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/us.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_hardy_universe_binary-i386_Packages)
W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems
======================

After apt-get update is ran again, the error seems to be resolved. This happens 100% of the time on fresh installations. All commands can be found at http://wiki.freegeek.org/index.php/Enabling_a_DVD-ROM

Here are the steps to reproduce:

1. Log into Ubuntu
2. Open the terminal
3. sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/hardy.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list
4. wget -q http://packages.medibuntu.org/medibuntu-key.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add - && sudo apt-get update

The following results from step 4:

=======================
oem@freekbox:~$ wget -q http://packages.medibuntu.org/medibuntu-key.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add - && sudo apt-get update
OK

Hi,

This is not related to Medibuntu. Your sources.list file contains some duplicated entry:
deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy main restricted universe

There are already these ones, above, which does the same thing:
deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy main restricted
deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy universe

You need to keep onl the first one, or the two other one, but not all them.

Can you help with this problem?
