[Bug 1697120] Re: artful's apt-file and aptitude complains about Ubuntu sources.list

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package apt - 1.5~rc2

---------------
apt (1.5~rc2) unstable; urgency=medium

  [ Julian Andres Klode ]
  * Actually install apt_auth.conf manual page (Closes: #873934)
  * test: Workaround gpgv warning
  * apt-daily: Wait for network before daily updates.
    Introduce a new helper, apt-helper wait-online that uses
    NetworkManager and/or systemd-networkd to wait for them
    reporting online, with a time out of 30 seconds; and run
    that helper before running the daily update script. (LP: #1699850)
  * apt-daily: Pull in network-online.target in service, not timer
  * Do not warn about duplicate "legacy" targets (Closes: #839259)
    (LP: #1697120)
  * cdrom: Don't hardcode "Files" field for copying source files
  * ftparchive: Do not pass through disabled hashes in Sources (Closes: #872963)
  * Directly link against libudev on Linux systems - this does not affect
    public API and ABI, but protected pkgUdevCdromDevices function pointers
    were renamed and are now always NULL, even if Dlopen returns true.

  [ Christos Trochalakis ]
  * doc: correct '--allow-releaseinfo-change-*' typos (Closes: #873914)

  [ Frans Spiesschaert ]
  * Dutch program translation update (Closes: #874285)
  * Dutch manpage translation update (Closes: #874293)

  [ David Kalnischkies ]
  * don't write & chmod /dev/null log files
  * don't ask an uninit _system for supported archs (LP: #1613184)

Title:
  artful's apt-file and aptitude complains about Ubuntu sources.list

Status in apt package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in apt package in Debian:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  apt-file is now difficult to use with about a dozen warnings like
  this:

  W: Target Contents-deb-legacy (Contents-amd64) is configured multiple
  times in /etc/apt/sources.list:6 and /etc/apt/sources.list:17

  For reference, this is line 6:
  deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ artful main restricted

  And this is line 17:
  deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ artful universe

  This is how Ubuntu's default sources.list has been structured since
  the beginning? (or at least more than a decade).

  What I expect
  -------------
  The warning isn't specific enough. Lines 6 and 17 are not actually duplicates. The warning could be removed or fixed so that it doesn't complain about non-duplicates.

  Or the warning could be disabled on Ubuntu.
