apt-get update gives the message----

[elzorro]

How to get rid of this I wonder--
Is this /var/lib/apt/lists some sort of pin strategy I wonder



W: Duplicate sources.list entry http://cdn.debian.net/debian/ unstable/non-free i386 Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/cdn.debian.net_debian_dists_unstable_non-free_binary-i386_Packages)
W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems

It is exactly what it says: Duplicate sources.list entry
you have a line twice in your sources, deleting it will fix the issue.

This might be probably be related to your other threads solution where you have sid and unstable in your sources, which is a duplicate entry.

And BTW, you should change

deb http://cdn.debian.net/debian/

to something more specific for your country, but this is not related to your problem.

elzorro, look for non-free to be listed twice in

Code Select Expand

/etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian.list

I had the same error after install, delete one of the non-free's  and you should be good to go

piper,

thats interesting. any idea where that might have come from?
did fw-detect offer to install non-free firmware?

On two installs I had non-free listed twice and yes fw-detect offered and I let it (during install, which took 3 minutes and 42 seconds to install on one machine and 4 minutes on another, very fast install which was done fromiso).

I also had to add (after install)

Code Select Expand

allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp to /etc/network/interfaces for internet

did fw-detect behave normaly? like spawn a window and show what its doing?
