hi all,

when im trying to update my pve from 8.0.3 to 8.1 i get this when running "apt update"

my plan is to run

Code:
apt update
apt upgrade

but getting stuck at the first hurdle

Code:
W: Target Packages (pve-no-subscription/binary-amd64/Packages) is configured multiple times in /etc/apt/sources.list:7 and /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pve-install-repo.list:1
W: Target Packages (pve-no-subscription/binary-all/Packages) is configured multiple times in /etc/apt/sources.list:7 and /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pve-install-repo.list:1
W: Target Translations (pve-no-subscription/i18n/Translation-en_US) is configured multiple times in /etc/apt/sources.list:7 and /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pve-install-repo.list:1
W: Target Translations (pve-no-subscription/i18n/Translation-en) is configured multiple times in /etc/apt/sources.list:7 and /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pve-install-repo.list:1
W: Target Packages (pve-no-subscription/binary-amd64/Packages) is configured multiple times in /etc/apt/sources.list:7 and /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pve-install-repo.list:1
W: Target Packages (pve-no-subscription/binary-all/Packages) is configured multiple times in /etc/apt/sources.list:7 and /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pve-install-repo.list:1
W: Target Translations (pve-no-subscription/i18n/Translation-en_US) is configured multiple times in /etc/apt/sources.list:7 and /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pve-install-repo.list:1
W: Target Translations (pve-no-subscription/i18n/Translation-en) is configured multiple times in /etc/apt/sources.list:7 and /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pve-install-repo.list:1

this is the line in question in both files

Code:
deb http://download.proxmox.com/debian/pve bookworm pve-no-subscription

Please never run apt upgrade! Always run apt dist-upgrade or use the GUI. Instructions for updating are in the manual: https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/pve-admin-guide.html#system_software_updates

You probably configured the same repository multiple times, as the warning suggests. What are the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list and /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pve-install-repo.list? Did you add /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pve-install-repo.list (my system does not have it) and why? Instructions on configuring repositories are also in the manual.
 
what about for the last update/upgrade i did

Code:
apt update
apt upgrade

will that mess up my pve, i will in future do dist-upgrade

in the end i removed file

Code:
rm -f /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pve-install-repo.list

ran the update/dist-upgrade and all worked well as i can see from the webgui 8.1.3
