What does 'Ign' mean when running an apt-get update? - Ask Ubuntu


i had bunch of errors in output of sudo apt-get update: duplicate entries , 404 not found errors.

figured out, hope: removed ppas didn't have packages associated them, removed out duplicate entry in /etc/apt/sources.list.

it seems have royally buggered up. of lines ign when sudo apt-get update.

how go straightening out have screwed up? need rid of these igns on place. there 50% (eyeball guess) igns!

when use apt-get update verifies if same update indexes need downloading, if not not download same updated indexes again.

  • hit means apt checked timestamps on package list, match , there no changes.

  • ign means there no changes in pdiff index file, wont bother downloading again.

nothing scared of, means there no need download updated indexes again, ones have current.
