To fix this issue, you need to edit the apt sources list and remove the duplicate entries.

Here's a quick way to remove duplicate entries from your apt sources list. You can use the aptsources-cleanup script to remove duplicate entries from your apt sources list.

Open a terminal and run the following commands:

sudo apt install python3-apt python3-regex
wget https://github.com/davidfoerster/aptsources-cleanup/releases/download/v0.1.7.5.2/aptsources-cleanup.pyz
chmod +x aptsources-cleanup.pyz
sudo bash -c "echo all | ./aptsources-cleanup.pyz  --yes"
rm aptsources-cleanup.pyz

That's it! The duplicate entries in your apt sources list should now be removed. You can run apt update to verify that the warnings are gone.
