Tons of errors after install trying to update.

Post by seth_reaver »

Hey guys, I installed LMDE AMD64 XFCE and have been enjoying it. After reading the notes in the Update notes, i moved all my sources over to the new ones. However, now it just spits out errors.

Please post your sources.list (it's in the /etc/APT folder), to make sure you've done all the modifications well.

Perhaps you can fix it at least a bit with these commands:

Code: Select all

sudo dpkg --configure -a
apt install -f

Feel free to correct me if I'm trying to write in Spanish, French or German.
