apt update doesn't work

[swills1]

apt update never worked. I installed PM years ago and it never worked out of the box. I was told it shouldn't without a subscription. I always did apt upgrade to upgrade.

I'm kind of cleaning up my PM server / revisiting some setup since it is a lot easier to do things now than it was when I first installed. There's two main things I want to fix and this is one of them.

I do apt update and I get

Target Packages (pve-no-subscription/binary-amd64/Packages) is configured multiple times in /etc/apt/sources.list:6 and /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pve-install-repo.list:1

But those files have nothing in them. So nothing on line 6 or 1. How do I fix? Without a reinstall.

You do not need a support subscription to use the no-subscription repository, which you appear to have configured twice. Once in /etc/apt/sources.list and once in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pve-install-repo.list. It is not configured by the Proxmox installer. See the manual for more information about configuring repositories and upgrading Proxmox.

EDIT: Apologies for misunderstanding your question. Let me know if you want me to delete this post. Thank you for pointing out why I do what I do.

I solved it. It was my pubkey. apt update never worked out of the box so it is great to finally have that command working.

Never do a apt upgrade. This might screw up your PVE installation. Only use apt dist-upgrade or apt full-upgrade.

I didn't put it in an inline code block because I wasn't being literal, but thank you.
