** Description changed:
+ [Impact]
apt-file is now difficult to use with about a dozen warnings like this:
W: Target Contents-deb-legacy (Contents-amd64) is configured multiple
times in /etc/apt/sources.list:6 and /etc/apt/sources.list:17
For reference, this is line 6:
deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ artful main restricted
And this is line 17:
deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ artful universe
This is how Ubuntu's default sources.list has been structured since the
beginning? (or at least more than a decade).
What I expect
-------------
The warning isn't specific enough. Lines 6 and 17 are not actually
duplicates. The warning could be removed or fixed so that it doesn't complain
about non-duplicates.
Or the warning could be disabled on Ubuntu.

+
+ [Test case]
+ Install apt-file and update, make sure that the warnings are gone.
+
+ [Regression potential]
+ Warnings about duplicate index targets containing "legacy" in their
configured name are not shown anymore, thus it's harder to "fix" servers. But
apart from that, which was the goal, I don't see any.
