I have the same problem and haven't find the solution yet.

1. [url=http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=198&t=112836]Forget about apt-get upgrade[/url] and only use apt-get dist-upgrade.
2. Try

   Code: Select all

   sudo dpkg --configure mint-debian-mirrors

3. For more info about the unmet dependencies, try

   Code: Select all

   sudo aptitude full-upgrade

[drcasper]

I am not sure if this did it, but i renamed

Code: Select all

/usr/share/python-apt/templates/LinuxMint.mirrors 
to LinuxMint.mirrors.old

and then run

Code: Select all

apt-get dist-upgrade

/usr/share/python-apt/templates/LinuxMint.mirrors didn't exist, so I created it but no joy...

Try reinstalling it:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install --reinstall python-pycurl

and then configure mint-debian-mirrors:

Code: Select all

sudo dpkg --configure mint-debian-mirrors

[toad]

Thanks very much for your reply. Did the reinstall as you suggested but no improvement. I'm still getting the same error message.

The problem occurs on my Thinkpad T61 only - the update went through fine on my desktop (using the http://tux.rainside.sk/ mirror).

Will experiment further and am always grateful for new suggestions.

I had the same error message after sudo apt-get update on a new install of downloaded LMDE 201303 64-bit Mate. This solution worked for me:

I am not sure if this did it, but i renamed

Code: Select all

/usr/share/python-apt/templates/LinuxMint.mirrors 
to LinuxMint.mirrors.old

and then run

Code: Select all

apt-get dist-upgrade

Now, I was trying it in a virtual machine. I'm not sure I would have had the courage to do something like that on my production machine! But at least on the VM, it worked.

Has anyone tested this on a live system, I really don't want to wipe my disk and I have the same problem.

Yes, i did this on "live installation" not on Virtual Machine

[quixote]

Good to know. I've now tried it on a live system, and it worked for me too.

[pallando]

I just ran into this on virtual machine install. I managed to fix it by doing the following

Code: Select all

mv /usr/share/python-apt/templates/LinuxMint.mirrors{,.old}
sudo apt-get install --reinstall python2.7 python-pycurl

This should trigger a reconfigure of mint-debian-mirrors; but if not you can manually do so.

Code: Select all

sudo dpkg --configure mint-debian-mirrors

Hope that helps.
