Have you tried to do sudo apt-get upgrade first?

The error occurs when I run sudo apt-get update
Hi,

Try running a 'clean' first, then 'update', then 'upgrade':

sudo apt-get clean && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

Open in new window


Does that make any difference?

What should I do about the configured multiple times in the sources.list file?
Hi,

If you have that, you can manually 'de-duplicate' and tidy it up.

If you aren't sure, post a copy of your file here, and I'll have a look for you.

Hi,

I have tidied it up as much as I can see - I don't think you can get it any simpler unless you remove stuff, but don't go there.

This is what I suggest you do:

1) Make a backup of the current sources.list (the backup filename I used below is just the date and time in standard format):

sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.20171109.1014

Open in new window


2) Edit the sources.list file to be as per the attachment:

gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

Open in new window


You could just delete it all, and copy / paste from the attached.  Save the file before closing gedit.

3) Try re-running the above command and hopefully the duplicates warning will be gone.


Note:  to upload the file here, I had to add a txt extension.  That is an EE website issue only.


If anything is not happy, reverse the process and restore the backup sources.list version.

Alan.
sources.list.txt
Looking at your output, it appears every single repository access failed.

First make sure DNS is working for this machine/container.

Ensure this works...

ping archive.ubuntu.com

Open in new window


If ping works, then just follow the instructions. For example, to resolve...

W: Target Sources (universe/source/Sources) is configured multiple times in /etc/apt/sources.list:47 and /etc/apt/sources.list:49

Open in new window


Delete line 49.

Unsure how you got into this situation + APT is usually very good about telling you how to recover problems.

Just follow the instructions output + likely all will be well.

Thnk you for your response.  I have deleted the indicated lines from the sources.list file.  The other errors do not indicate a number line.  How should I go about removing those? This is what I have done so far and the list of errors has decreased, but there are still some.  Please see below commands

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo cp sources.list sources.list.old

Hi Sunse,

If you are still getting those same errors with the updated sources.list file I posted, then you have a serious issue I think.

Please can you check that file again, and make sure nothing has created duplicate entries again.

Thanks,

Alan.
Excellent. You have connectivity + are running Artful.

Next...

Describe how you got to the Artful release level - fresh install or upgrade from some other release. If you upgraded, mention the version you started with.

Also go through Alan's comments. Looks like he provided you with a clean APT starting point. Be sure to mention what occurred when you implemented his suggestion.

There are not as many errors as in my previous installation and when I run apt-get dist-upgrade every thing runs successfully.  Any thoughts?

There are not broken dependencies:

gcefalu@ubuntu:/etc/apt$ sudo apt-get check

Try installing 17.10 + then immediately issue apt-get update, before any other commands.

Do not add repositories + certainly don't add i386. Just install + do apt-get update + report what occurs.

Maybe the image contains a bug.

Be good if you open a ticket on Launchpad about this, including the image link of your download + your fix.

This sounds like a very broken image, which should be fixed by Ubuntu.

Good you figured out a fix!

Thanks.  What is Launchpad?
Hi Sunse,

It is where you can report a bug in Ubuntu:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+filebug


It would be great if you can do that, to help others that may have the same issue.

Thanks,

Alan.

It is a proxy problem.  Everything works fine when I work at home.
