How not to overwrite custom repositories when installing related packages using apt

  • 772

For example the google-chrome.list file and the skype-stable.list file in the /etc/apt/sources.list.d folder are overwritten when using this command:

sudo apt -y install google-chrome-stable skypeforlinux

The original skype-stable.list file contains:

deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/skypeforlinux-archive-keyring.gpg] https://repo.skype.com/deb stable main
deb-src [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/skypeforlinux-archive-keyring.gpg] https://repo.skype.com/deb stable main

The overwritten skype-stable.list file contains:

### THIS FILE IS AUTOMATICALLY CONFIGURED ###
# You may comment out this entry, but any other modifications may be lost.
deb [arch=amd64] http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main

The original google-chrome.list file contains:

deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/google-archive-keyring.gpg] http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb stable main
deb-src [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/google-archive-keyring.gpg] http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb stable main

The overwritten google-chrome.list file contains:

### THIS FILE IS AUTOMATICALLY CONFIGURED ###
# You may comment out this entry, but any other modifications may be lost.
deb [arch=amd64] http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main

How can I avoid this?

apt
