What to do?
Well, it's spelled out to you - right?
And this is a consequence of your experiment.
Of course all such actions needs sudo.
The guide was from 2005 and you may easily have run into a "version conflict"
It's not a good idea to run apps for one version of Ubuntu and so Mint on another - it may be possible but it's not recommended

Re: Synaptic Package Manager Issue
You could check out http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=geubuntu
Geubuntu is a mixture of E17 and Gnome. There will be a LinuxMint E17 Community Edition pretty soon. E17 is interesting.

Re: Synaptic Package Manager Issue
My experience is limited as far as E17 goes, but I think Debian's Elive E17 DE could be the best standard out there. They ask for a donation to download the live cd, but you can get an invitation as well - it's not that difficult see the website. And since they are currently in preparation for the next release (testing an alpha), it may be easier to get the invite.
I have Elive running on one of my triple boot machines to get practice and it's, as I said, a standard to compare other E17 DEs to (when I have time which is seldom). Note: I recently installed WoW on this DE (using Wine of course) and it was easy.

Re: Synaptic Package Manager Issue
Elive is one of the worst e17 distros out there. There is no app to change the favourites menu, no autologin and its main control panel/control centre partially doesn't work and its unstable. Probably the next release will be a lot more stable than its so called 'Gem'. But for now, all it has is looks. But I can't blame the developer team, it only consists of one person and he is based it on debian, which means that he has made his one control centre.newW2 wrote:My experience is limited as far as E17 goes, but I think Debian's Elive E17 DE could be the best standard out there.

I would rate all e17 distros like this Lowest to Hightest:
Elive
gOS
Geubuntu
OZOS
_______ ( Mint e17 is aiming here )

Well I did say: "My experience is limited".
Btw, this thread is headed out of scope ... based on the subject item.

Re: Synaptic Package Manager Issue
Don't worry about it. I also found some distros amazing and then found they were pathetic, like Lindows/Linspire, Mandriva and Suse (Then again, its just my opinion).newW2 wrote: Well I did say: "My experience is limited".
