MintUpdate cannot download repositories (Solved)

[Titanium_Falcon]

Hi, yesterday I was looking for an old library and, in doing so, I must've changed something important because MintUpdate can no longer get updates. I'm given an error message that I'm unable to download from repositories. I attempted sudo apt-get update and was met with a WHOLE BUNCH of error messages to the tune of Err 404 packages not found and failed to fetch packages. All are 'Gutsy' related. While searching for said library it was suggested to edit sources.list, I copy and pasted the text in, saved and exited. It didn't help and now my updates are down. Ahhhh, WHAT HAVE I DONE?! The current sources.list is as follows:


# See http://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes for how to upgrade to
# newer versions of the distribution.

deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gutsy main restricted universe multiverse
deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gutsy main restricted universe multiverse

## Major bug fix updates produced after the final release of the
## distribution.
deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gutsy-updates main restricted universe multiverse
deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gutsy-updates main restricted universe multiverse

deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gutsy-security main restricted universe multiverse
deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gutsy-security main restricted universe multiverse

## Uncomment the following two lines to add software from the 'backports'
## repository.
## N.B. software from this repository may not have been tested as
## extensively as that contained in the main release, although it includes
## newer versions of some applications which may provide useful features.
## Also, please note that software in backports WILL NOT receive any review
## or updates from the Ubuntu security team.
# deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gutsy-backports main restricted universe multiverse
# deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gutsy-backports main restricted universe multiverse

## Uncomment the following two lines to add software from Canonical's
## 'partner' repository. This software is not part of Ubuntu, but is
## offered by Canonical and the respective vendors as a service to Ubuntu
## users.
# deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/ gutsy partner
# deb-src http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/ gutsy partner

Please help, I've made a right mess of this already

Thanks
Tony

You really shouldn't try to use Gutsy repos with Julia...

The default sources.list for Mint 10 should look something like this:

Code: Select all

deb http://packages.linuxmint.com/ julia main upstream import
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick-updates main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick-security main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/ maverick partner
deb http://packages.medibuntu.org/ maverick free non-free

# deb http://archive.getdeb.net/ubuntu maverick-getdeb apps
# deb http://archive.getdeb.net/ubuntu maverick-getdeb games

Woooooo! Thank you ever so much, Rob2uk! The instructions I followed were to add Jaunty, so not sure what I did. I must've followed instructions for a different version. Guess I shouldn't play with stuff when I don't know what's gonna happen :/

Thanks again!

Ha! Thanks. I was looking for a button or something for that.
