Re: Registering to "latest" repository
msm was having the same issue; i hope he/she checks the thread out
Re: Registering to "latest" repository
I will try the resolution but am not near my computer atm
Re: Registering to "latest" repository
The fix appears to have worked although there are still broken level 3 packages.
Re: Registering to "latest" repository
msm, is this a fresh install? and is it the gnome v.? if is yes to both i would strongly advise you to do the first big update with half way though it will fail, and you'll have to do to correct some of the errors and then again
important: in all this process, don't reboot or logout; in the end all the errors should be cleared and you can see here a few "fixes" for your new system http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=141&t=76010

Re: Registering to "latest" repository
Thanks for your reply.
I followed this tutorial when installing LMDE earlier last week: http://community.linuxmint.com/tutorial/view/497 (although I updated the reps to the ones mentioned earlier in this thread) and did do the sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
Under About Gnome it says version 2.30.2
Earlier today I manually updated all level 3 categories listed in Update Manager. Funny, how it works, by doing them 30-50 at a time it worked fine, but it wasn't possible to update it all in one go. Anyway, the system now appears to be fully updated - in any case I tried installing mintupdate-debian and it appears to have worked:
Still get the usual error messages re Google and Dropbox, but not sure how to fix those.

Re: Registering to "latest" repository
You mean those three N: messages? They're not error messages, just 'notices'. If you want to get rid of them, open the directory /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ in Nautilus as administrator and delete the three files with .save extensions.msm wrote:Still get the usual error messages re Google and Dropbox, but not sure how to fix those.
