this is a really mess, sorry to say
you are using lmde-xfce Kernel 3.2.0-2-486 i686 (32 bit) Distro Linux Mint Xfce Edition but at the same time using the maya/precise repos.
at this point (because we don't know if/which updates went through successfully) i can only recommend to reinstall and this time you either get
LMDE-XFCE >> http://www.linuxmint.com/edition.php?id=101
MAYA XFCE >> http://www.linuxmint.com/edition.php?id=113
