[Solved] Problem during the upgrade from 6 to 7

Hi all,
I currently using Felicia. I wanted to upgrade to Gloria so I decided to follow these steps:
http://www.linuxmint.com/blog/?p=861
This problem is that I am stuck on step "apt install mint-meta-main(choose “Y” or “I” to install the package maintainer’s version)".
I get the following message:
> Build-dependencies could not be satisfied for the following packages:
> mint-meta-main: Depends: sun-java6-plugin mais ne sera pas installé
> E: Packages damaged
And when I tried to install sun-java6-plugin via Synaptic Package Manager I get the following:
> Depends: sun-java6-bin (=6-13-1) but 6-13-1mint1 is to be installed
Now I am afraid to reboot and don't know what to do, so any help is appreciated!

Direct upgrade is not very recommended. It would be better for you to make a fresh install.

Ok, It's not a big issue, it's just one of the many things that can go wrong in an upgrade compared with a fresh install. I always recommend a fresh-install, but if you must: disable felicia's community repo (comment out the line that has both felicia and community in it in /etc/apt/sources.list) This should solve your problem, though it's a bit of a bad package that requires a specific version, it's just that a differently packaged version of its dependency is available in the felicia community repo, so it's refusing to install the gloria one.

Thanks for the quick replies!

In the first step described here
http://www.linuxmint.com/blog/?p=861 I already replaced all the occurences of the word felicia with gloria. So I commented out the line that has both gloria and community in it, and then issued "apt update" in the terminal.
Unfortunately, I still have the exact same problem. I don't know if this helps, but here is the content of my sources.list:

OK, well the problem is that apt still has the old database of packages from felicia community, I think apt clean might solve it, but I'm not certain, and don't know where to go from there.

It didn't
== EDIT ==
What if I reboot now?
Or should I continue the upgrade?

I don't even know what's the initramfs shell...
== EDIT 2 ==
I made a fresh install...
