Thanks mate. That seemed to do the trick.

Question is, why did it only happen when I stuck the au in front of
the ubuntu repositories? There were duplicates before.

Should there be an additional comment in the sources.list when
uncommenting universe you should comment out the previous line, an
either or thing?

This is what I have now:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#deb http://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu warty main restricted
#deb-src http://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu warty main restricted

##########
## Uncomment the following two lines to fetch updated software from the network
## and be able to use more than 12000 unsupported packages from the
universe archive.
deb http://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu warty main restricted universe
deb-src http://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu warty main restricted universe
