All packages in synaptic disappeared

[bigmike]

I'm using LMDE

Code: Select all

mike@work /tmp $ lsb_release --a
LSB Version:	core-2.0-amd64:core-2.0-noarch:core-3.0-amd64:core-3.0-noarch:core-3.1-amd64:core-3.1-noarch:core-3.2-amd64:core-3.2-noarch:core-4.0-amd64:core-4.0-noarch:core-4.1-amd64:core-4.1-noarch:security-4.0-amd64:security-4.0-noarch:security-4.1-amd64:security-4.1-noarch
Distributor ID:	LinuxMint
Description:	LMDE Cinnamon Edition
Release:	1
Codename:	debian

If open Synaptic to install new packages, thay are all missing, except packages that are already installed.

Content of /etc/apt/sources.list

Code: Select all

mike@work /tmp $ cat /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://linux-mint.froonix.org/ debian main upstream import backport romeo
deb-src http://linux-mint.froonix.org/ debian main upstream import backport romeo #Added by software-properties

# deb http://www.duinsoft.nl/pkg debs all
# deb-src http://www.duinsoft.nl/pkg debs all

At this point mint-choose-debian-mirror fails, but I can change default server in synaptic

Code: Select all

mike@work /tmp $ mint-choose-debian-mirror 
[sudo] password for mike: 
Current server not found, exiting

If add debian mirrors that are mentioned here on forums, they are all gone after I start Synaptic and run Software Sources. Before starting synaptic, aptitude works and I can install new packages (seems like synaptic modfiy sources.list and aptitude does not)
This happened after default update mirror gone 403 and I had to choose another one in synaptic.

Is there any way to solve this issue?

It does not look like repos are down.

Code: Select all
