matthieu-gendreau commented May 17, 2016

Worked for me too.

David F thanks for automating the detection/deactivation of duplicates. I am a total newbie - tried python3 apt-remove-duplicate-source-entries.py in dash stored on my Desktop
but got python3: can't open file 'apt-remove-duplicate-source-entries.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory I know I am doing smth wrong but exactly what? Ty

baudday commented May 18, 2016

@CarnedeTun Your problem is in the error message.

No such file or directory

You're either in the wrong directory when you attempt to execute the script or you named it something different from what you're trying to execute

CarnedeTun commented May 18, 2016

@baudday thanks

I tried to run
/home/omegatron/Desktop/apt-remove-duplicate-source-entries.py

And it gave me this:
`omegatron@omegatron-Satellite-C655D:~$ /home/omegatron/Desktop/apt-remove-duplicate-source-entries.py
Overlapping source entries:

/etc/apt/sources.list: deb-src http://ubuntu.mirrors.linux.ro/archive/ xenial main restricted #Added by software-properties
/etc/apt/sources.list: deb-src http://ubuntu.mirrors.linux.ro/archive/ xenial main multiverse universe #Added by software-properties
I disabled the latter entry.

1 source entries were disabled:

deb-src http://ubuntu.mirrors.linux.ro/archive/ xenial main multiverse universe #Added by software-properties

Do you want to save these changes? (y/N)
omegatron@omegatron-Satellite-C655D:~$
`

But when I tried sudo apt-get update it still gave me this:
W: Target Sources (main/source/Sources) is configured multiple times in /etc/apt/sources.list:2 and /etc/apt/sources.list:7 W: Target Sources (main/source/Sources) is configured multiple times in /etc/apt/sources.list:2 and /etc/apt/sources.list:7
Thanks again for any additional help.

@yashhsethiya You are probably missing python-apt package.

sudo apt-get install python-apt

@SnaasebKram: Could you please file an issue report and provide a link to your /etc/apt/sources.list? The comparison for duplicate entries is not perfect because I'm not exactly sure what entries Apt considers equal but a sample like yours would help tweaking that.

@yashhsethiya: You need to install the python3-apt package. The most recent release makes that clearer.
