Packages configured multiple times etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-chrome.list:1

[maciaccio]

FWIW, as I try to investigate this...

SPM was showing the error msg, not at startup, but after I hit "Reload".

I looked in: etc/apt/sources.list.d/google.list

deb http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main
deb http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main
deb http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main
deb http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main
deb http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main

Since there were five entries, similar to the redundancy error msg, i.e.: "list:5..."  I deleted four of them (had to open as Admin to save.)


I looked in: etc/apt/sources.list.d/chrome-google.list

### THIS FILE IS AUTOMATICALLY CONFIGURED ###
# You may comment out this entry, but any other modifications may be lost.
deb [arch=amd64] http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main

I left this alone. Reboot. Open Syn Pkg Man.

Now there are only four error msg's:
W: Target Packages (main/binary-amd64/Packages) is configured multiple times in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-chrome.list:3 and /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google.list:1
W: Target Packages (main/binary-all/Packages) is configured multiple times in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-chrome.list:3 and /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google.list:1
W: Target Translations (main/i18n/Translation-en_US) is configured multiple times in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-chrome.list:3 and /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google.list:1
W: Target Translations (main/i18n/Translation-en) is configured multiple times in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-chrome.list:3 and /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google.list:1


SPM shows: "84742 packages listed, 1838 installed, 0 broken, 0 to install/upgrade, 0 to remove"


Edit>

On a hunch, I commented out the remaining entry in:

etc/apt/sources.list.d/google.list

#deb http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main


Open Chrome, everything seems fine.

Open Syn Pkg Mgr, Reload and there are no error messages!

google-chrome-stable, installed version: 58.0.3029.110-1

18 packages listed, 1838 installed, 0 broken, 0 to install/upgrade, 0 to remove

Apparently I have solved this. I am not sure: why it happened or how to avoid it reoccurring; if my fix is innocuous or will cause other issues; or if this is widespread or unique to my experience.

Maybe someone should check my work.
