Hi John, Following from those two emails, I think this can be fixed by doing the following:
1. In a terminal run "sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.backup " just in case we need it 2. Open your sources.list in your favourite editor (sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list) and select EVERYTHING then delete it. (We still have a backup if this goes wrong) 3. Paste in the following. # # deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 9.04 _Jaunty Jackalope_ - Release i386 (20090420.1)]/ jaunty main restricted # # See http://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes for how to upgrade to # # newer versions of the distribution. # # deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jaunty main restricted # deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jaunty restricted main multiverse universe #Added by software-properties # # ## Major bug fix updates produced after the final release of the # ## distribution. # deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jaunty-updates main restricted # deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jaunty-updates restricted main multiverse universe #Added by software-properties # # ## N.B. software from this repository is ENTIRELY UNSUPPORTED by the Ubuntu # ## team.

Save it, and run sudo apt-get update I've attached that list as a text file in case your email software chops it up a bit. Let us know if you get more duplicate entry errors and then I'll be able to see if I missed any. Hope that helps! -Matt Daubney
