After loading synaptic, I asked it to reload and it produced a list of 26 errors indicating multiple entries in two files. The first 7 for these errors are typical of the rest :
Code:
W: Target Packages (universe/binary-amd64/Packages) is configured multiple times in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/dvd.list:3 and /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu.sources:2
W: Target Packages (universe/binary-all/Packages) is configured multiple times in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/dvd.list:3 and /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu.sources:2
W: Target Translations (universe/i18n/Translation-en_US) is configured multiple times in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/dvd.list:3 and /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu.sources:2
W: Target Translations (universe/i18n/Translation-en) is configured multiple times in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/dvd.list:3 and /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu.sources:2
W: Target Translations (universe/i18n/Translation-en_GB) is configured multiple times in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/dvd.list:3 and /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu.sources:2
W: Target DEP-11 (universe/dep11/Components-amd64.yml) is configured multiple times in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/dvd.list:3 and /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu.sources:2
W: Target DEP-11 (universe/dep11/Components-all.yml) is configured multiple times in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/dvd.list:3 and /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu.sources:2
I thought this would be an easy edit so I opened the two referenced files, dvd.list and ubuntu.sources :
dvd.list
Code:
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ noble universe multiverse
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ noble-updates universe multiverse
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ noble-security universe multiverse
ubuntu.sources
Code:

Can anybody tell me what is required as an edit to prevent this error report by synaptic, or doesn't it matter?
