    Invalid filename

    Hello....

    After invoking sudo apt-get update I got error...

    Code:
    snip snip
    
    
    Reading package lists... Done
    N: Ignoring file 'getdeb.list.bck' in directory '/etc/apt/sources.list.d/' as it has an invalid filename extension
    How to solve?

    Re: Invalid filename

    It's a backup file that's ignored by apt-get. Most likely an almost identical file without the .bck exists. You can probably ignore this message.

    It's actually not an error but a notification. It starts with an N, errors start with E (warnings with W).

    yes identical filename without bkc extension exists. And both have length of 0. Is it safe to delete it?

    Re: Invalid filename

    If both files are empty, then yes, it's safe to delete both of them.
