Steam causing warnings in Apt

[pmprog]

On my Lubuntu laptop, I've done an "apt update", and I've started getting the following error

W: Conflicting distribution: http://repo.steampowered.com/steam precise InRelease (expected precise but got stable)
W: Skipping acquire of configured file 'steam/source/Sources' as repository 'http://repo.steampowered.com/steam precise InRelease' doesn't have the component 'steam' (component misspelt in sources.list?)

I reinstalled Steam from the .deb file on the website, and that hasn't resolved it.

In /etc/apt/sources.list.d/, I have two files steam.list and steam.list.save; both contain

deb [arch=amd64,i386] http://repo.steampowered.com/steam/ precise steam
deb-src [arch=amd64,i386] http://repo.steampowered.com/steam/ precise steam

Does anyone have any idea what's wrong, and how I can fix it?

Thanks

The message seems pretty clear:

'http://repo.steampowered.com/steam precise InRelease' doesn't have the component 'steam'

Maybe they changed the name of the component for the repo, or maybe it's just a temporary issue...

You could try to remove the last "steam" part from both the lines and see what happens, else you should go to their forum to ask what is the correct word to put there.

I checked the site; it does seem to have sensible looking paths that those lines should refer to. I only wonder if having two files in your sources.d means it ends up reading both and disregarding one of them which is what at least some of those error s are about, but I don't have a system here that uses .deb packages so I don't really know its repo structure.

The message seems pretty clear:

Well, I thought that, but I followed the URL like I assume levi did, and everything seemed to match up.

My biggest confustion is that the logs say

W: Conflicting distribution: http://repo.steampowered.com/steam precise InRelease (expected precise but got stable)

but the file says

http://repo.steampowered.com/steam/ precise steam

I don't know where InRelease has come from?

Thinking on... this might just be a bigger issue, the other day I had problems updating apt, where it thought all the PPAs I had registered were called Spotify, and asked me if I wanted to rename them (which I did to the correct names).
