It's not "two repositories". It's one dstro. Focal, and one repository, Universe, for that distro. I make this point and distinction because it's common practice to have multiple lines referencing different repos. The reason being so that you can easily manage which repos you're pulling software from. If you don't want to install software that is unsupported and/or not free, you simply comment out the multiverse repo. e.g. # See http://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes for how to upgrade to # newer versions of the distribution. deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ quantal main restricted deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ quantal main restricted ## N.B. software from this repository is ENTIRELY UNSUPPORTED by the Ubuntu ## team. Also, please note that software in universe WILL NOT receive any ## review or updates from the Ubuntu security team. deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ quantal universe deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ quantal universe ## N.B. software from this repository is ENTIRELY UNSUPPORTED by the Ubuntu ## team, and may not be under a free licence. Please satisfy yourself as to ## your rights to use the software. Also, please note that software in ## multiverse WILL NOT receive any review or updates from the Ubuntu ## security team. deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ quantal multiverse deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ quantal multiverse Reference - https://www.howtoforge.com/generate_sources.list_with_source_o_matic See comment at bottom of page w. full sources.list file w. comments. _______________________________________________ PLUG: https://pdxlinux.org PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
