[Help} W: Target Sources is configured multiple times in etc/apt/sources
by Wolf.Linux from LinuxQuestions.org on (#54DGT)
So recently I got a new handed down laptop (Dell Latitude E6430) as my old one was not cutting it for what i needed. I took my old HDD with debian 10 buster out of my other laptop and placed it into this one.
My wifi wasn't working and i was about to reformat and try over when i noticed it said I needed a non-free firmware b43/ucode_mimo.fw
So after a bit of googling, I added nonfree sources
that it said i needed and ran
Code:sudo apt updateUpon completion I was met with:
Code:W: Target Sources (main/source/Sources) is configured multiple times in /etc/apt/sources.list:2 and /etc/apt/sources.list:11

W: Target Contents-deb (main/Contents-all) is configured multiple times in /etc/apt/sources.list:1 and /etc/apt/sources.list:10I get that its saying there are duplicates but are "Main" and "nonfree" main the same?
and if so, why are they even differentiated between if that makes sense?
Once I added these non free I was able to get what i needed which was:
Code:sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer
My sources:
