Hello, I am having some problems trying to update this package as it's causing apt-upgrade / dist-upgrade problems.
The ultimate goal I want from this, is to be able to upgrade a package called Pigeon sipe, it's currently on version 1.13 but I need 1.18.
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2308 ... on-upgrade
I posted the above question to Stack overflow, but I can't find anything relevant.
I read through http://forum.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=47&t=125368 but this appears to be for Mint15 rather than the version I am using.
anthonyc@cleaves-pc /etc/apt $ uname -a
Linux cleaves-pc 3.2.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.2.32-1 x86_64 GNU/Linux
All further information is on my stack overflow post, any help would be brilliant.

Re: Upgrade issues - Initramfs-tools
I don't see the connection between this post's headline and pidgin-sipe.
If you want to update the operating system (mentioned in your post on stackoverflow) you can do that with the update manager or via terminal with
As you are talking about pidgin-sipe 1.13 I suppose you have not updated for quite some time and are still with UP7. Check this and update to UP8 following the release information http://blog.linuxmint.com/?p=2544 and http://debian.linuxmint.com/latest/update-pack.html
With respect to pidgin-sipe: it is version 1.17 in LMDE-repos. There is no pidgin-sipe 1.18 in debian-repos (not even in sid). If you can't wait for it to enter the repos you will have to compile it from source. See http://sipe.sourceforge.net/install/ for information on how to do this.

Re: Upgrade issues - Initramfs-tools
Sorry, the sipe version was slightly irrlevant to my problem.
I just want to update my distro, but at the moment I just get tons of 404 errors.
So apt-get upgrade (+distro) are giving me the 404's.
I will check out that link in a minute, but it seems to be for gnome, my desktop is mate.

blog.linuxmint.com seems to be down. Maybe it's the same with debian.linuxmint.com and packages.linuxmint.com , in this case you should change to some mirror or wait until tomorrow.

Re: Upgrade issues - Initramfs-tools
After messing around with different mirrors as suggestion, I finally was able to install initramfs-tools. Now the problem is resolved.
Thank you all.

Once more: you obviously have not completely updated your system for more than a year if you are still running on kernel 3.2.
