Hey,
Look under /etc/apt/sources.list.d (I believe this is the location, if
not, somewhere inside the /apt folder), there will be a file in there
with the opera repo in it.
Some packages install these when you install them (one other one that
does it is google chrome), it is suppose to help keep you up-to date,
but it is also annoying.
Regards,
Angus.
