Target Packages are configured multiple times

[dpearceFL]

When I try to perform a Refresh on the packages, I get the following messages. They are duplicated for some reason. Does it matter which *.list file I edit? I never touch these files BTW.

No, the file names themselves are somewhat arbitrary and don't matter functionally.

That said, /etc/apt/sources.list is typically managed by the OS and comes with default entries. Custom repositories, whether for users or applications, are generally expected to go into separate files under /etc/apt/sources.list.d/.

In theory, an OS upgrade could overwrite /etc/apt/sources.list, but it won’t touch custom files placed in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/, making that the safer location for persistent changes.

Maybe not you yourself, but someone did create them. Standard PVE uses the enterprise repository and the configured non-subscription-repositories has to be configured by you or a script you ran.
