Mar 2, 2014 at 15:40 comment added terdon @psusi see here: "The Linux Mint repositories contain all the software developed by us, imported by us or in a more general way, all the software we decided to maintain. " Everything else they take directly from Ubuntu's repos, you cannot install a full system from the Mint repos alone. Unlike Ubuntu with Debian, Mint has simply added some stuff over the basic Ubuntu, they have not repackages the whole thing. For example, Mint's repos don't even have kernel-headers.
Mar 1, 2014 at 19:22 comment added psusi @terdon, they should have their own where they import most packages from Ubuntu, and modify some, just like Ubuntu does with Debian.
Mar 1, 2014 at 8:01 comment added terdon @psusi mot true, mint needs and expects the Ubuntu repos. That looks like the default sources.list
Mar 1, 2014 at 0:22 comment added psusi You shouldn't be using the Ubuntu archive in mint; gparted should be in mint's repositories. Also raring is end of life.
Oct 13, 2013 at 17:22 comment added Joseph R. @user2789331 You can paste the output on pastebin (or similar) and link to it in your question
Oct 13, 2013 at 17:12 comment added Noosgam @JosephR. I ran the modified command and get an output with a lot of url's but the site does not allow me to post more than 2, since I'm new to stackexchange. Are these links relevant to the problem? And thanks for your help

Oct 13, 2013 at 17:01 comment added Joseph R. @user2789331 I believe #terdon meant /etc/apt/sources.list.d.
Oct 13, 2013 at 16:08 comment added terdon @user2789331 also, please edit your question and post the output of for f in /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.d/*; do echo "$f:"; cat "$f"; done.
Oct 13, 2013 at 16:06 comment added terdon @user2789331 Could you update your question with the exact command you ran (sudo apt-key ...) and the exact error message received?
Oct 13, 2013 at 16:02 comment added Noosgam I ran the command you suggested but I still got the same error when I tried to run >sudo apt-get update..
