I don't know what openyoudao is but when running Debian it is highly recommended not to mix repositories with Ubuntu or other linux distributions. In your case you are not even running Debian but only Debian based Mint (as far as I know though LMDE is Debian compatible in the repository level). That said you can try to install the .deb package with other ways (for example using gdebi) but the main drawback (apart from any inconsistencies already mentioned) is that the package won't be updated with the rest of the system because apt/synaptic will not be able to do this.
