After fixing mergelist error in Linux Mint 15

One of the older post described how to fix the infamous “Problem with Mergelist” error when trying to install applications in Linux Mint/Ubuntu. It involved using a couple of commands from the Linux Terminal to get rid of the error.

In Linux Mint 15, there is now a simple option that will fix this error all with just a few clicks. So there is no need to type in all those commands if not interested. 🙂

Here is how :

Open Preferences > Software Sources.

Accessing Software Sources settings in Linux Mint 15

Go to the “Maintenance” tab and click on “Fix MergeList problems”.

Happy fixing!
