  • The pip that is shipping with Linux Mint 17 is outdated, you should use the documented instructions to install pip. Commented Jun 24, 2015 at 5:39
  • @StephenKitt Updated question sir. Are all of the errors above related to python-setuptools? This is my 3rd time setting up dual-boot for windows 8 and linux mint but before yesterday i never did setuptools. I was able to install pip. However pip would return ssl errors, i assume because it is an outdated version. Updating pip did not help either. Normally on windows i install pip via the method Anthon mentioned above through the get-pip.py script. Commented Jun 24, 2015 at 12:39
  • No, it seems your system can no longer find architecture-independent packages (with all instead of amd64)... Could you add the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list to your question? You wouldn't happen to have [arch=...] qualifiers in there by any chance? Commented Jun 24, 2015 at 12:43
  • @StephenKitt i found this link: http://community.linuxmint.com/tutorial/view/482 is that solution feasible? i do not need to install python setup tools using apt-get install python-setuptools, if it is easier, can i "clear" the system from trying to resolve the broken packages? (are the broken packages python-setuptools dependencies?) Commented Jun 25, 2015 at 19:10
  • @jes516 That article is out of date, it's safe now to use aptitude and apt-get interchangeably. There's something else wrong, your system should be able to find the packages in archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/s/six for example and install them. What do /etc/apt/apt.conf and /etc/apt/preferences contain on your system? Commented Jun 25, 2015 at 20:58
