Almost. The first thing you have to do is update the repositories:craig10x wrote:So, just to clarify...when doing the updates, all that is necessary to type into the terminal is this:

Just as a suggestion...craig10x wrote:Thanks zerozero
And kmb42vt as well for the explanation...makes sense because even though update manager has been refreshed the terminal needs to be as well to get the new packages...so you you are telling it to to refresh and then apply whatever has been sent down...gotcha
As i test, i saw in my Update Manager that there was a new version of Google Chrome Stable waiting for me (that is from google's repos i use the actual Chrome Version rather then Chromium from debian which is still very old in testing)...So i entered the comman in the terminal and then my password and DONE....

I was wondering about the LibreOffice issue related to updates 16 Mar 2011,
and my search brought me straight to this thread. I am going to check the libreoffice
metapackage now.
By the way, for LMDE which is based on testing repos, these kind of errors happen frequently.
And when they do, there is good to know where to check out first.

I'd suggest going a step further and subscribing to this thread. That way if there are any new posts you will be immediately notified via email.That is why this thread should be the first thing that people read when they access the LMDE part of the forum. Unfortunately that is not happening at the moment, you have to go and look for this thread first.
That is indeed a good idea, but in order to subscribe to something you first need to know it exists. The problem lies with people that don't even know the thread exists, they need to read it, but are not likely to (and even less likely to subscribe to it) if it is hidden amongst hundreds of other posts, that is why it needs to be the first thread on the LMDE section of the forum.tjweaver wrote:I'd suggest going a step further and subscribing to this thread.

I agree about theoretical posts but this brought to mind something everyone should be aware as far as a user finding a solution to a particular problem with any Mint version.viking777 wrote:That is indeed a good idea, but in order to subscribe to something you first need to know it exists.

Another problem of which I am acutely aware is that the more theoretical posts like this that the thread fills with, the less useful it will become. I apologise profusely for posting about something that is not an LMDE breakage, I will try to resist the urge to do it again (but I will probably fail )
