tomdf; Hello -

The system is telling you what the issue is and where the problems lie :)

All we got to do is remove the duplicate entries.

To make finding the correct identified lines, please post - Between Code Tags -:
code tag tutorial:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2171721&p=12776168#post12776168
the output of terminal command:


cat -n /etc/apt/sources.list


Such then that you can easily correlate what the errors are to what is in the /etc/apt/sources.list file.
Then - as I am terminally minded - we fire up your favorite text editor and repair the damage.



simple as falling out of bed wide awake

Hi there,

thanks a lot for your kind help.
this is the sources.list and i did delete already something there.
As i understand line 2 and line 3 have the same repository bionic updates universe is this right?
so i should delete line 3 right?

Is there a recomended sources.list for ubuntu 18.04 webserver?

thanks for your help

deb http://asi-fs-n.contabo.net/ubuntu bionic-updates main restricted universe multiverse restricted

[deadflowr]

Is there a recomended sources.list for ubuntu 18.04 webserver?
The sources are the same, by default.
Whether desktop or server.

I'd recommend removing the entries with single repositories like these


deb http://asi-fs-n.contabo.net/ubuntu bionic-updates universe
deb http://asi-fs-n.contabo.net/ubuntu bionic multiverse
deb http://asi-fs-n.contabo.net/ubuntu bionic-updates multiverse
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-security universe
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-security multiverse
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic universe
since all those are already mentioned in the other entries listed.
And remove the duplicate restricted, universe, and multiverse entries in the backports entry here

deb http://asi-fs-n.contabo.net/ubuntu bionic-backports main restricted universe multiverse restricted universe multiverse

[Bashing-om]

tomdf; Hey - hey

Heed deadflowr's last.

As an example of a working sources list file: this is mine:


#
deb http://mirror.steadfast.net/ubuntu bionic main restricted universe multiverse

deb http://mirror.steadfast.net/ubuntu bionic-security main restricted universe multiverse

deb http://mirror.steadfast.net/ubuntu bionic-updates main restricted universe multiverse

deb http://mirror.steadfast.net/ubuntu bionic-backports main restricted universe multiverse

deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu bionic partner


For MY use case. where it is bare bones; only what I need. From a fast mirror site that is kept updated.
Note I have no need in this install for source code thus "src" is not included, and you may or may not want the backports and partner repos.


hope this helps
