Error in repositories -> Error in the updates -> Error in adobe flash Plugin
by arnematthias from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4W944)
Hi experts,
I wonder why I cannot update my repositories or software on my Linux Mint 18.2 system any more.
I really need Adobe flash plugin 11.2 or higher in order to continue my distant study on this machine. So it is urgent.
The repository error shows the following text:

I tried to change the repositories several times with 4 or 5 different ones. I tried the Update Manager on several different days. I really cannot get around this update problem.
Is there any way to solve this without reinstalling Linux completely? I would very much appreciate that.
Warm regards
Matthias
