Ubuntu Warning: Target Packages is configured multiple times

From the warning message, it seems that both files "/etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-chrome.list" and "/etc/apt/sources.list.d/ulaa-browser.list" have similar contents. That's why it's saying, "xxx configured multiple times".

Open these files and check if there are similar contents. If yes, remove or comment out the similar content in one of these files. Save the file and run "sudo apt update" to update the package lists.

E.g., if both files have "deb [arch=amd64] https: //dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main", remove or comment it out in the file "/etc/apt/sources.list.d/ulaa-browser.list".
