I am a total newbie to Ubuntu, and any Linux distro for the matter. So far I have been able to watch videos and research on google how to install all the programs I need but when I run sudo apt-get update I get the following messages.

W: Target Packages (Packages) is configured multiple times in /etc/apt/sources.list:54 and /etc/apt/sources.list:55
W: Target Translations (en_US) is configured multiple times in /etc/apt/sources.list:54 and /etc/apt/sources.list:55
W: Target Translations (en) is configured multiple times in /etc/apt/sources.list:54 and /etc/apt/sources.list:55
E: The method driver /usr/lib/apt/methods/https// could not be found.
W: The repository 'http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/xenlism-wildfire/repo deb/ Release' does not have a Release file.

W: Target Translations (en) is configured multiple times in /etc/apt/sources.list:54 and /etc/apt/sources.list:55

I have tried apt-get clean and read this link here but that didn't help.

How can I fix it?

  • Try apt-get -f -y install. Maybe this will fix it. – zx485 Nov 25 '16 at 22:11
  • Hi zx485, Thank you for your input. I tried the command but unfortunately no luck there. This is what it stated below root@MacroEconomics:~# apt-get -f -y install Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree
    Reading state information... Done 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded. Then after I did apt-get update and received the same message as my original post.

  • @Newguy2122, you have some duplicate sources and one is with HTTPS which is not supported, Could you [edit] the question and add the output of grep -rn "deb" /etc/apt/sources.list* – user.dz Nov 26 '16 at 09:35
