That did it! What is the recommended sources.list now?
This is what is in it presently:

deb http://packages.linuxmint.com/ nadia main upstream import
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ quantal main restricted universe
multiverse
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ quantal-updates main restricted
universe multiverse
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ quantal-security main restricted
universe multiverse
deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/ quantal partner
# deb http://archive.getdeb.net/ubuntu quantal-getdeb apps
# deb http://archive.getdeb.net/ubuntu quantal-getdeb games

/etc/apt/sources.list.d says:

dhor-myway-quantal.list
dhor-myway-quantal.list.save
google-talkplugin.list
google-talkplugin.list.save
libreoffice-libreoffice-4-0-quantal.list
libreoffice-libreoffice-4-0-quantal.list.save
libreoffice-libreoffice-4-1-quantal.list
libreoffice-libreoffice-4-1-quantal.list.save
libreoffice-ppa-quantal.list
libreoffice-ppa-quantal.list.save
local-repository.list
local-repository.list.save
otto-kesselgulasch-gimp-quantal.list
otto-kesselgulasch-gimp-quantal.list.save
team-xbmc-ppa-quantal.list
team-xbmc-ppa-quantal.list.save

what if I were to move the lines in sources.list.d into sources.list? one
final question for tonight:  what is the purpose of sources.list.save
