Synaptic

[Laurie Bell]

Thanks everyone,
I got my other hard drive for Ubuntu so I wont be down if this happens again.I tried all suggestions,but synaptic refused to open.Burnt a new Gutsy.Will see if this one does the same thing.After everything I found a deb for remastersys.I wanted that just in case something like my problem happened again.
Thanks again 
 
UBUNTU - I am what I am because of who we all are.

Linux Mint is another distro, so I did a bit more research.

http://www.linuxmint.com/blog/?p=103
"Romeo will also change, starting from Daryna. Its components will represent the different Mint releases.

For instance, to get access to the Romeo packages for Daryna, you'll use:
deb http://www.linuxmint.com/repository romeo daryna"

Romeo appears to be a program for the latest release of Linux Mint, Daryna.


Also looks like they haven't updated their instructions to correspond to changes in the website structure

My guess would be that if you still use Romeo, fix it.  Otherwise, get rid of that line.

This suggestion from Daniel Robitaille sounds reasonable too though I did browse over to http://www.linuxmint.com/repository/romeo and it **looks** like a repository.


I guess Daniel's ultimate advice here is to remove that line altogether ;)

I would concur.

Andrew.

is that correct?  That line looks weird.


A quick google search turns out this discussion:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=637825


which seems to be someone with a very similar problem with their
sources.list file.

A more correct line could be (but I haven't tried):
deb 

http://www.linuxmint.com/repository romeo daryna


But personally I really try to stay away from any repositories that
are not official Ubuntu ones... I'm a bit paranoid about what I
install on my computers.
