error with repositories

[dscowles]

All of a sudden my computer wouldn't update its packages today. I am not sure what happened but this is what I get

ERROR###ERROR###ERROR###ERROR###ERROR###ERROR###ERROR
W:Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/pmcenery/ppa/u ... ce/Sources 404 Not Found
, W:Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/pmcenery/ppa/u ... 4/Packages 404 Not Found
, W:Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/pmcenery/ppa/u ... 6/Packages 404 Not Found
, E:Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

Anyone know how to fix this?

If you go up a few steps in the URLs from your error messages, you get to which releases of Ubuntu are supported: http://ppa.launchpad.net/pmcenery/ppa/ubuntu/dists/. As you can see, your "quantal" (Ubuntu 12.10, on which Linux Mint 14 is based) isn't supported. I would recommend you find another source for whichever program you are trying to install. Or if there is none, an alternative program.

You could edit the repository source and replace "quantal" for this repository with "natty" (as that is the most recent release supported by this repository); but I wouldn't recommend it. That means it contains software almost two years old...

okay, what is weird is now it is fine. I havent added or removed packages lately so I am ot sure what happened. But it figured itself out! Yay linux!
