latest sources.list?

[ccRMYEKHMwQLO]

I get the following error:

Code: Select all

when trying to install or update

My /etc/apt/sources.list:

Code: Select all

## Linuxmint standard
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

## Debian Sid/Unstable
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ unstable main contrib non-free

What can I update this to, to ensure working installs for 64? (3.0.0-12-generic #20-Ubuntu SMP Fri Oct 7 14:56:25 UTC 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux)

yep i was 99% sure it wasn't

@ccRMYEKHMwQLO:
i have no idea what you are trying to do, but those sources.list don't belong there;
you have mint 12 kde and that is a mix of debian sid and lmde-latest it's never going to work;
your install is based in ubuntu, those repos are debian; they are not compatible, you are going to break it.

the only thing you can do is put back the original sources.list (you made a backup of it, right?) and forget those debian entries.

[craigevil]

Mint 12 = Ubuntu
LMDE = Debian

two totally different animals. Do not mix the two as they are not compatible unless you are trying to see how quick you can break your install.

[ccRMYEKHMwQLO]

I get that much - could somebody just please point me to a location for the original sources? Unfortunately I did not make a backup. Sadly.

Can anyone here, please post their Mint 12 (64) /etc/apt/sources.list?
