Duplicate sources warning found while updating

Question

I use Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. When I run,

sudo apt-get update

the terminal gives me,

Reading package lists... Done
W: Duplicate sources.list entry http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable/main amd64 Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/dl.google.com_linux_chrome_deb_dists_stable_main_binary-amd64_Packages)
W: Duplicate sources.list entry http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable/main i386 Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/dl.google.com_linux_chrome_deb_dists_stable_main_binary-i386_Packages)
W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems

How to resolve this.

Answer 1

Edit sources.list and comment out the duplicate entry.

• Edit sources.list:

  sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
  

• Place a # in front of the duplicate entry

• Save:

  CTRL + X, Y, ENTER

• Update:

  sudo apt-get update
  

Now try again.
