you went ahead and now it's harder :P

1- replace all your sources.list with

Code: Select all

deb http://packages.linuxmint.com/ debian main upstream import
deb http://debian.linuxmint.com/latest testing main contrib non-free
deb http://debian.linuxmint.com/latest/security testing/updates main contrib non-free
deb http://debian.linuxmint.com/latest/multimedia testing main non-free
(the ones you are using are missing 2 repos: security and multimedia)

2- delete the ppa cinnamon-extras: it's not maintained anymore and the repo is closed.

3- after 1. and 2. do

Code: Select all

apt update && apt dist-upgrade
it should (post the output)

I never try LMDE or any debian base distro , but from the output of inxi -Sr i can say how to edit source list is :

Code: Select all

 sudo gedit  /etc/apt/sources.list
i don't know if this file exist ( /etc/apt/sources.list.d ), but you can try :

Code: Select all

 sudo gedit  /etc/apt/sources.list.d

Done, thanks a lot for the guidance actually it should be :

Code: Select all

sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/bimsebasse-cinnamonextras.list
and problem solved... :D
