Hi,
When I try to install programs from the terminal using sudo apt-get install something I get the message "sudo: apt-get: command not found".
When I use update manager it says "The method driver /usr/lib/apt/methods/http could not be found"
Neither the synaptic package manager or the software manager are working, and I'm guessing for the same reason.
Synaptic is giving me another interesting error: "W: Unable to read /etc/apt/preferences.d/ - DirectoryExists (2: No such file or directory)".
I'm guessing that all these errors have a single, fixable problem at the root, but I can't really figure it out by myself. Any help would be very welcome.
I just started using Linux Mint and I gotta say that I love how it's working except for this problem now which is not allowing me install any new software.

Re: Problems with installing/updating software
looks like the installer is corrupt . Check ISO MD5 sum if is correct or not. If it's correct, try to reinstall
Re: Problems with installing/updating software
I also had similar issue this morning.
I cold booted.
So far all is good.
I've been able to install Skype since.
Good luck.
