Software Package Repos Displaying “Duplicates”

Steini · August 29, 2024, 12:52am

SYSTEM INFORMATION
OS type and version	Ubuntu Linux 22.04.4
Usermin version	2.102
Virtualmin version	7.20.2 Pro
Theme version	21.20.7
Apache version	2.4.62
Package updates	All installed packages are up to date

I applied the patch that Illia suggested in this thread.

When checking the respective page (Webmin > System > Software Package Updates > Package Repositories) they come up like this:

Done a grep ^ /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/* and it seems it displays everything, so these aren’t real duplicates, I reckon.

Not sure if this is desired outcome/behaviour, but it may confuse when looking at it the first time.

It could be cache, try clearing it.

Steini · August 29, 2024, 7:34am

Unfortunately, clearing the cache has no effect.

I just looked at the apt source files and removed the remmed out duplicates for some and others ticked the ticked the box in the GUI and clicked delete. Running apt from the command line showed no difference after this exercise and worked as expected

Steini · August 29, 2024, 8:36am

You had real duplicates showing up in /etc/apt/sources.list and underneath /etc/apt/sources.list.d/?

jimr1 · August 29, 2024, 8:38am

Yes there were a few in both areas … some were copies of the actual files but with a .save extension which apt never read but webmin does

Steini · August 29, 2024, 8:43am

Hmm, that’s interesting. So it could be another issue on my side since there are no duplicates in neither locations. Apart from the aforementioned locations, are you aware of any other that I haven’t looked into?

jimr1 · August 29, 2024, 8:50am

no but do you repros marked with # at the beginning of the line ? this was the source of most of my dups after removing the duplicate files

Ilia · August 29, 2024, 9:06am

Can you share the list of all your repos? In particular all files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d and /etc/apt/sources.list file itself?

Steini · August 29, 2024, 9:22am

Maybe it’s just my interpretation of deb and deb-src: Because of the fact that deb-src are only needed if I want to compile on my own, I assume(d) that only deb lines should be considered in this overview since these can be installed via apt.

Anyway, here you go:

/etc/apt/sources.list:## Note, this file is written by cloud-init on first boot of an instance
