missing repositories when trying to install/update packages, error from mintInstall
Howdy,
I recently tried to do some updates/installs and am getting some missing repository messages with a 404 error. Some googling pointed me to a different sources.list, but the ones I have tried end up giving me some 404 errors as well. Now mintInstall gives the following error on refresh:
"The data used by mintInstall is corrupted or out of date. Click on refresh to fix the problem : no element found: line 1, column 0"
Any assistance with getting an updated sources.list and fixing this error would be greatly appreciated.
And finally tell us which version of Mint you're using.
Code:
cat /etc/lsb-release
sources.list is an important system file so I really hope you haven't been making random changes to it based on random Google pages. When dealing with system files I strongly recommend following only trusted tutorials/how-to's.
I made a backup copy of sources.list before I started modifying anything and have since restored the original version. Here is the output of the commands you mentioned. Thanks.
cat /etc/apt/sources.list
Code:
