Re: Problem with Synaptic Package Manager
LinuxMint-7 is no longer supported (as of Oct 2010) and the repros are probably off-line. Hence, the error message.
You need to install a newer version of Mint or the most recent LTS of Mint/Ubuntu > Mint-9 or newer would be best.

Re: Problem with Synaptic Package Manager
Hi,
Welcome to Linux Mint.
You could try to build nethack from sources if your distribution is out of date. If that does not work, there is of course the dreaded word "upgrade." On the other hand, you might as well jump into the pool! The water is balmy.
