This is the correct list for apt-get/aptitude usage in Debian ;) [snip] I see that you fixed your problem by using apt-get instead of aptitude, but I'd like to make a few suggestions for the future: 1. LMDE is *not* Debian: # mintupdate -bash: mintupdate: command not found and there may be other subtle differences that are important 2. If you want help with usage of a specific tool *always* include the complete output of the commands you ran. 3. aptitude has a very powerful interactive dependency resolver that is useful for such situations.

How would someone using Debian know that? I still think it would could be better answered on a LM list.

how to fix aptitude errors upgrading LMDE UP3 - UP4
(Apologies if this is not the correct place to post (is there an apt-user or aptitude-user list?), but it's been helpful in past.) As detailed @ http://forum.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=198t=99035 recently I successfully upgraded a box with Linux Mint Debian Edition Update Pack 3 (with which I've been a happy ubuntu refugee) to the recently-announced LMDE UP4. Saturday (14 Apr 2012) I tried to do this on another box (after again doing both a full duplicity backup and a clonezilla). mintupdate (which I launched, as before, from console with `gksudo mintupdate `) just kept dying, silently, in many different places. I tried again Sunday (15 Apr) night, with same results. Eventually I gave up, and went back to aptitude, launched via `sudo aptitude update ; sudo aptitude full-upgrade` aptitude did not die silently! and chugged on until finished.
