What happened was that i attempted to get a newer version of Pidgin Instant Messenger, and did this by copying and pasting the two commands that are given in the "linux downloads" section of their website into the terminal....i used the ones they give for Ubuntu....
What it is supposed to do is add the new version into the repository so that they should appear in your Updates listing and you can then apply it.....
This worked fine when i used Ubuntu 9.10 32 bit version....Now i am using Linux Mint 8 64 bit version...
I don't normally like to use the terminal, and in a way i am sorry i did....Now when i refresh Mint Update...it gets stuck on those 3 packages i tried to add...apparently it can't load them in....It's still able to bring in other updates for me, but i have to cancel the "Refresh" and then i just see the ones it was able to get, which of course i can then apply...
But it is a bit annoying that the 3 stuck packages that won't work are hanging up the refresher function...A window comes up and says "Could Not Download All Repository Indexes"
I do plan on switching to Mint 9 when it comes out...so i suppose i could "live with it" until i install the new version..since i can still get the regular updates...
But i was just wondering if there is any easy FIX for this that won't cause even more problems for me..if not, i will leave well enough alone
