Try commenting out the medibuntu.org entries in /etc/apt/sources.list, and  then do

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

Medibuntu doesn't exist anymore.

Hope that helps!

yeah mike i seen that reading some pages yesterday and i am wondering why it still trys to pull updates for it because the only thing that i entered is the sudo apt-get update line and then my password.  Everything else was generated txt from the command running.  i will try your tip thanks.  will the update via terminal also update the security and bug fixes for the kde desktop?

[mkbrown69]

will the update via terminal also update the security and bug fixes for the kde desktop?

Update/upgrade will update security and big fixes for installed packages.  It won't pull in new packages, which is why it'll say sometimes that certain packages won't be upgraded.  That usually happens when a new package is "required" by an updated package, and the "required" package is not currently installed.  To deal with that catch-22, you do a sudo apt-get dist-upgrade.

Some of your problems could be attributed to repository priorities in the package manager (apt/dpkg).  You (or LMCE) can decide that packages from one repository are more current/important/customized than packages from a standard repository.  That helps the package manager decide which one to use when it's faced with more than one choice for the same package (prefer stuff from here over stuff from there).

Hope that helps!
