Re: Cannot update through synaptic or cli
Check your sources list. Run the code below in terminal, enter your password at the prompt, and a window will open displaying the sources list.
Be careful when the sources list is open because the editor will be active. Any changes may be permanently installed when the window is closed.
If this list was corrupted or erased by the power surge and loss, you will not be able to use mintUpdate, mintInstall, Synaptic Package Manager, or apt-get.

steve;
What we cah do is something that worked recently for another similar problem. My sources list is posted here

You can replace your corrupt list using the sudo gedit command I posted earlier. Just clear your current list and copy and paste my list in its place. It worked there, it should work here. Remember to save the new sources list before you close the window.
