That depends. this line is just for main. The duplicate is for more than just main. If you want the more, then delete the line with just main. If you only want main, delete the line with more. > > or should I remove the following file from /var/lib/apt/lists: > > ftp.nl.debian.org_debian_dists_etch_main_binary-i386_Packages > No. /var/lib/ belongs to the packages involved. If you fix sources.list, then apt will fix its own lists. Doug. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
