I just updated to 3.2.0-4-amd64.
When doing so, I discovered that the mintUpdate 'Update Pack Info' button is unresponsive. It changes color when clicked, but does not open the info window.
1. Any thoughts on how to get the button to do it's thing?
2. Is there another way via the console to see the information that should be displayed in the update window?
I also had several 'Failed to fetch...' errors, but that's another issue.

Re: 'Update Pack Info' button unresponsive
actually i believe that both issues are related: the update pack info is retrieved from the servers as you press the button, if you're having problems updating or experiencing slowness it might "freeze" waiting for the info.

Re: 'Update Pack Info' button unresponsive
Thanks zerozero for your response.
I did the mint-choose-debian-mirror thing. /etc/apt/sources list now shows:
Went back to mintUpdate and did a refresh. Several packages failed to be fetched:
I also noticed that failed, as seen when 'Show for individual files' was selected during the downloading process. However, mintUpdate indicates 'Your system is up to date'.
Where do I go from here???

Re: 'Update Pack Info' button unresponsive
mint-choose-debian-mirrors picks the best mirror for the 3 debian repos in your sources.list, the errors you are seeing are from packages.linuxmint repo, to pick a mirror for that repo you have to follow xenopeek's topic that i linked above
Re: 'Update Pack Info' button unresponsive
Thanks again. /etc/apt/sources.list now shows
[There were no mirrors in US, so I chose the one in Canada.] mintUpdate refresh was significantly faster and no 'Failed to fetch...' errors encountered and shows 'Your system is up to date'. So, I guess all is well except the 'Update Pack Info' button is still unresponsive.
