Hello Xavier,

1) Why would that be incoherent? Yes deb13u1<deb13u2 but 257.9-1>257.8-1 
so that seems coherent to me.

2) LMDE means Linux Mint Debian Edition. While it is (largely, in this 
case) based on Debian, it is not Debian. This is not a refusal to help, 
a Debian derivative can have sufficient differences to Debian to 
potentially render help by debianists inefficient or damageable.
So please contact Linux Mint support via their channels (web forums, 
chat rooms) listed on this page:
