Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. I have unmarked it as a security issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy.

Hello 2northen,

It seems you have duplicate entries in /etc/apt/sources.list. Please check it or, if you are unsure on how/what to do, please attach this file to this bug.

Additionally, you have been hit by "Dynamic MMap ran out of room". Please see bug 24626 for details on this other error. It is probable that cleaning the APT sources list may resolve the MMap issue, though.
