Glad it's solved.
Yeah, this preferences thing can be easily missed... Mint repo gets higher priority by default, and it contains only MATE 1.2.

In the immortal words of Zap Brannigan: Whoopsy daisy!
So I open open the Update manager and just press install updates. When it's finished I just restart and (because I have previously removed cinnamon) I'm promptly left with no desktop at all. I really need to learn to be more careful.
The problem is an unmet dependency libfontconfig1 that caused the update manager to simply remove most of my mate desktop. I installed newer version of libfontconfig1 from debian repos and then successfully reinstalled MATE 1.4. Of course, all fonts now look awful. Still need to figure that one out.
