Shenanigans afoot (apt oddities)

Hi there folks!

I restarted my BL this evening and figured perhaps it was time to do an update so I updated my repos:

The errors look to have something to do with vscode but I've had it installed for a long time and never saw this error before. Can anyone tell me what I should do to rectify this?

Thanks for your time!

It's just a Warning, no actual problems. Don't try to fix what isn't broken!

But since you insist, it's telling you clearly what is wrong:

<Something> is configured multiple times in /etc/apt/sources.list:16 and /etc/apt/sources.list.d/vscode.list:3

It's even telling you on which line of the file it is.
You really need us to tell you what to do next?

Oh, I would never insist had I known it wasn't an error I guess what confuses me is that when I look at sources.list, I don't see multiple lines of the same repos:

#
# deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 9.8 _Helium_ - Snapshot amd64 LIVE/INSTALL Binary 20190706-19:28]/ stretch contrib main non-free
# deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 9.8 _Helium_ - Snapshot amd64 LIVE/INSTALL Binary 20190706-19:28]/ stretch contrib main non-free
deb https://deb.debian.org/debian stretch main non-free contrib
# deb-src https://deb.debian.org/debian stretch main non-free contrib
## Debian security updates
deb https://deb.debian.org/debian-security stretch/updates main contrib non-free
# stretch-updates, previously known as 'volatile'
deb https://deb.debian.org/debian stretch-updates main contrib non-free
# deb-src https://deb.debian.org/debian stretch-updates main contrib non-free
deb [arch=amd64] https://packages.microsoft.com/repos/vscode stable main
# deb-src [arch=amd64] https://packages.microsoft.com/repos/vscode stable main

I'm wondering what it's telling me about line 16(vscode) and just curious as to what might have caused it as code has been installed for a long time with none of these warnings during update.

what its telling you is there is something going on in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/vscode.list

post the output of

/etc/apt/sources.list.d/vscode.list

only if it is not sensitive data of course.

I think it might be related to having both

deb [arch=amd64] https://packages.microsoft.com/repos/vscode stable main

and

/etc/apt/sources.list.d/vscode.list

You need to decide which to keep.

Oh I see, I guess a code update at some point placed a second source in there at some point.

Thanks very much for the clarification!

Probably dont touch anything as ohnonot mentions unless you have modified /etc/apt/ if not then maybe vscode wants to have its repo in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/

Many packages not in debian ad file in /et/apt/sources.list.d. BunsenLabs does. So does also Google.

When installing GoogleChrome, the package adds /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-chrome.list. I want everything in sources.list and uncomment sources.list.d-files. Next update of Chrome, enables google-chrome.list, if I not edit /etc/default/google-chrome:

repo_add_once="false"
repo_reenable_on_distupgrade="false"

I don't know about Microsoft's packages, thy could have same policy.
