Cant install or reinstall anything?

[LAN]

Hi I really need some help with LMDE.

For example, Ive remowed Brasero, and now I want to reinstall it. I cant! Ive tried sudo apt-get install brasero, sudo aptitute install brasero but it says that the program doesnt exist... It seems that my repository files are corrupt or something...

Example:

madeleine@Linuxdator ~ $ sudo aptitude install brasero
Ingen kandidatversion hittades för brasero
Ingen kandidatversion hittades för brasero
Inga paket kommer att installeras, uppgraderas eller tas bort.
0 paket att uppgradera, 0 att nyinstallera. 0 att ta bort och 1 inte uppgraderade.
Behöver hämta 0 B arkiv. Efter uppackning kommer 0 B diskplats att användas.

madeleine@Linuxdator ~ $ sudo apt-get install brasero

Paketet brasero är inte tillgängligt, men ett annat paket hänvisar till det.
Det kan betyda att paketet saknas, har blivit föråldrat eller endast
är tillgängligt från andra källor
Dock kan följande paket ersätta det:
brasero-common

E: Paketet "brasero" har ingen installationskandidat

This is my sources:
deb http://packages.linuxmint.com/ debian main upstream import
deb http://security.debian.org/ testing/updates main contrib non-free
deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org testing main non-free

--> Do I need more sources? Or is some settings wrong?






Also, why cant I reinstall a program from synaptic?

What does synaptic say ( a GUI front end to apt), in terms of that package or even mintupdate
--synaptic has a reinstall option..

Try another CD/DVD burner package, such as xfburn
http://linux.softpedia.com/get/Utilitie ... 8483.shtml

• Xfburn is a simple CD and DVD burning tool based on libburnia libraries. It can blank CD-RWs, burn and create iso images, as well as burn personal compositions of data to either CD or DVD
  I used xfburn when Brasero had a problem, since it uses a different library than wodim..

Or in a terminal, use

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

I have run
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

several times.

When trying to install Xfburn;
sudo apt-get install xfcurn

= cant find the package?!! Or do I need to find it on the web and downlaod it (like MS...)

Yes, Synaptic have the reinstall option, but it is always grey (=not usable)

Anyone? I love LMDE, Im a former Ubuntu fan, but now my hopes are on LMDE. Dont want to go back, if not nessecary

Skip the sudo.
Open a terminal and type su.
It asks for the password.
Type your password and hit enter.
Then :
apt-get install brasero

Nope
