Linux-mint repos problem using LMDE

Hi. I have been using LMDE for some months without problem.

Yesterday, Synaptic could not process any update.

It informed me that:
Impossible de récupérer http://packages.linuxmint.com/dists/debian/Release Impossible de trouver l'entrée « universe/binary-i386/Packages » attendue dans le fichier « Release » :  ligne non valable dans sources.list ou fichier corrompu
Le téléchargement de quelques fichiers d'index a échoué, ils ont été ignorés, ou les anciens ont été utilisés à la place.
My sources.list looks like this:
deb http://packages.linuxmint.com/ debian main upstream import romeo backport universe
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian testing main contrib non-free
deb http://security.debian.org/ testing/updates main contrib non-free
deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org testing main non-free
I commented the linuxmint repos while waiting what to do exactly.

Any tip welcome.

The problem is with this line

Code: Select all

deb http://packages.linuxmint.com/ debian main upstream import romeo backport universe
Try taking out "universe"

Code: Select all

deb http://packages.linuxmint.com/ debian main upstream import romeo backport

Thanks. I'll will take out the repository universe.

But there must be a reason why it went wrong?

Am I the only one?
