W: Duplicate sources.list entry http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/ precise/partner i386 Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/archive.canonical.com_ubuntu_dists_precise_partner_binary-i386_Packages)

I did run apt-get update a few times already

Hi ,

please open a terminal and give the results of this command

find /etc/apt -name '*.list' -exec bash -c 'echo -e "\n$1\n"; cat -n "$1"' _ '{}' \;

copy-paste the command from here for more accuracy.

Thanks

Can you also give the output of:

grep -R partner /etc/apt/*

Thanks

These are the duplicate lists . So remove the one of two .

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Thanks
