    Failed to fetch file:/var/cache/apt-build/repository/dists/apt-build/main/...

    Every time I update my system, I notice this error . . .

    Code:
    Failed to fetch file:/var/cache/apt-build/repository/dists/apt-build/main/binary-amd64/Packages.gz File not found
    I've never really paid it any attention as my system seems to update as it should, but this time I navigated to that location, and found there is no Packages.gz in that directory (I suppose that's probably what it was hinting with "File not found"). I don't think this is critical, but is there any way I can fix it?

    Is it just me, or is it looking for an apt repository in /var/cache/apt-build?

    Should it be looking there?

      It doesn't make any sense, but the problem's been there since day one of my installation of Gutsy.

        I'd investigate /etc/apt/sources.list.

          If you don't mind, please take a look at my sources.list:

            Well, I'd delete (or comment out) the top line there.
            Also remove the extra "deb" from the end of the next-to-last line.

            As for the warning about duplicate entries, you might want to look into what's in /var/lib/apt/lists, see if anything is worth keeping.

            Personally, I keep my sources.list nice and neat. Here's the top part. As you can see, I can immediately tell what is and is not enabled.

              Cool beans! I've cleaned up my sources.list as you recommended, and I believe the following sums up my progression on this issue:

              Your sources.list is incredibly organized (very good job); I have (2) questions about organization:

              1) Can you reorganize the various wording such as "multiverse universe" to "universe multiverse"?

              2) Can you add/remove wording such as changing

              Code:
              deb [url]http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/[/url] 	gutsy 		universe
deb [url]http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/[/url] 	gutsy 		multiverse
              to

                Yes to both. You can probably mix and match, though it's probably more efficient to do it like mine. (The rest of my sources.list looks similar.)
