Has Mint 12 already hit EOL, or is my Apt borked?
I can't seem to connect to either the Lisa or Ubuntu Oneiric repos via Apt. The dotdeb repo works fine, however. Was Lisa stealth killed before the announced April cutoff, or is my Apt having a problem? I double-checked to make sure the old universe/multiverse bug wasn't the culprit.

EOL for 12 is April 2013
Linux Mint 21.1 Cinnamon

Yeah, if there is any problem, I doubt it's on Mint/Ubuntu's end, especially considering the Mint repos stay up for a small amount of time after the EOL. If either were to stop support early, then they would have notified users somehow.
Edit: I would reboot to see what happens, but otherwise, could you provide the output of putting the following into a terminal:

Sometimes the main Mint server is quite slow and make apt fail to download, so you should choose a mirror. Go to Software Sources -> Download from -> Select best server, and it will choose the fastest server for you
Re: Has Mint 12 already hit EOL, or is my Apt borked?
Yes, if it is only the mint repos that aren't working (which is what it appears to be), then it is simply that they are down (they have been very pressed since the release of LMDE UP 6).

Hello, KevinM1.
In addition to what has already been explained in this thread, let me add:
I can confirm that searching for updates and installing them on Mint 12 "Lisa" still works fine. All you have to do is replace the main server (packages.linuxmint.com) by a mirror server close to your geographical location.
abnvolk has explained how to so a few posts above mine.
Ever since I replaced packages.linuxmint.com by a local mirror around XMas, no more connection errors have occurred.
With respect to the upcoming EOL, it is noticeable that the development of Mint 12 has significantly slowed down. Updates have become scarce. Lisa's days are running out ...
So, the answers to your questions that you asked in your thread title are:
+ Lisa is still alive. (Has been confirmed before.)
+ Your apt packages or configuration are very likely not borked.
Kind regards,
Karl
