Nope - You need to commend the second and third lines of your sources.list.  If
you have a look at them they reference exactly the same repository, except the
second time they appear they also look in the 'universe' section.

I had the same problem last night after my painless (!) install.

An 'apt-get update' should run with no errors now.
