Hi,
I looked at this thread:
http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=47&t=110314
And while it's not debian the suggestion was to use the following
command:
sudo dpkg --clear-avail && sudo apt-get update
That seemed to fix it.
from dpkg man pages:
--clear-avail
Erase the existing information about what packages are
available.
HTH,
K.
