Preferences for MintUpdate failing

Postby PGG on Sun Dec 23, 2012 8:29 pm

After all the flustering recently about MintUpdate not connecting, I myself still cannot get Mint Nadia-Mate updates. First this message comes up:

Code: Select all
W: Unable to read /etc/apt/preferences.d/ - DirectoryExists (2: No such file or directory)


Probably not the correct thing to do, but I placed 'preferences' in a new iteration of the required /etc/apt/preferences.d/ directory. OK and then continued until this error encountered:

Code: Select all
The method driver /usr/lib/apt/methods/http could not be found.


Looking at that directory and file location, I see that only an executable named 'https'

Would'nt 'https' be better than 'http'? However, pointing to 'https' then brings up this error:

Code: Select all
The method driver /usr/lib/apt/methods/gpgv could not be found.


This could go on...

How do I get the correct update sequence, please?

Here are my repositories:

Code: Select all
Repos:     Active apt sources in file: /etc/apt/sources.list
           deb http://packages.linuxmint.com/ nadia main upstream import
           deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ quantal main restricted universe multiverse
           deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ quantal-updates main restricted universe multiverse

           deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/ quantal partner
           deb http://packages.medibuntu.org/ quantal free non-free
