mintsources and sources.list (solved)

[xfrank]

Ok, I've read the faq written by Killer de bug:

http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.p ... 7&t=159257

but:

Code: Select all

xfrank@xflmde ~ $ mintsources
mintsources: command not found

I had no problem until now having only a sources.list file in /etc/apt/
In this file I have:

Code: Select all

deb [arch=amd64,i386] http://packages.linuxmint.com/ debian main upstream import
deb [arch=amd64,i386] http://debian.linuxmint.com/latest testing main contrib non-free
deb [arch=amd64,i386] http://debian.linuxmint.com/latest/security testing/updates main contrib non-free
deb [arch=amd64,i386] http://debian.linuxmint.com/latest/multimedia testing main non-free
deb http://packages.linuxmint.com/ debian main upstream import

I have also an empty directory /etc/apt/sources.list.d

Am I missing something?

Ok, I've installed mintsources and mint-mirrors (sudo apt-get install mintsources & apt-get install mint-mirrors). Now I can open the mintsource window.
Now, is it necessary to delete sources.list? and purge-remove debian-mirrors?

update:
following the Killer de bug FAQ:
now sources.list is sources.list.bak
and

Code: Select all

apt remove --purge mint-debian-mirrors

(crossing my fingers: I hope nothing bad will happen)

Now the file official-packages-repositories.list has been created, that contains:

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

deb http://extra.linuxmint.com debian main

And now, when opening mintsources:

Code: Select all

xfrank@xflmde ~ $ mintsources
Fontconfig warning: "/home/xfrank/.config/font-manager/conf.d/50-user.conf", line 14: reading configurations from ~/.fonts.conf is deprecated. please move it to /home/xfrank/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf manually
glibtop: Non-standard uts for running kernel:
release 3.11-2-amd64=3.11.0 gives version code 199424

something wrong here?

*update:
1 - nothing bad happened with mintsources and the new configuration
2 - the font warning was solved by modifying 50-user.conf (commenting the deprecated /.fonts.conf)
3 - the non-standard uts for kernel warning seems to be not harmful (but... what is that?)

Can you just post the output of

Code: Select all

inxi -r

and

Code: Select all

apt update

[xfrank]

Ok,

Code: Select all

xfrank@xflmde ~ $ inxi -r
Repos:     Active apt sources in file: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/official-package-repositories.list
           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
           deb http://extra.linuxmint.com debian main

I will apt-update now.
