How to fix this error message generated when using the terminal command sudo apt update -->> W: Target Packages (main/binary-amd64/Packages) is configured multiple times in /etc/apt/sources.list:1 and /etc/apt/sources.list.d/parrot.list:1

Step 1: Select "Repositories from the “Settings” drop-down menu in Synaptic Package Manager.

Step 2: Copy all entries and their settings in the repositories list to a text file. Next, delete any duplicate entrries.

Step 3: Select “Reload Package Information” from the “Edit” drop-down menu. No errors should be returned. If errors are returned, restore the repositories list to its original state and try deleting duplicate entries again. Lather, rinse and repeat until your repository list is “clean”.

Step 4: Close Synaptic Package Manager, open a terminal and run the “sudo apt update” command. No errors should be returned.

I encountered this for [Ubuntu] 18.10. I used Synaptic to check the repositories and then deleted the ones I thought were duplicates. Result: no more error messages.
