speaker Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Failed to fetch problems are usually related to a few major issues: network problems; old or out of date repositories; and locking & sync problems (something other than your installer is trying to install, or a previous install failed. If I were to guess, 1 and 3 are not happening, the errors are different. If there is a package dependency happening for a package that isn't available in the expected version anymore, you might need to update your packages and package managers information. Off the top of my head I'm not sure which system Mint uses, but something like a series to commands to make sure the package manager and packages are up to date: [code]sudo apt-get update apt-get upgrade apt-get dist-upgrade[/code] Let us know if you have any luck down that path.
