How to Update apt?
by gentisle from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5NY4C)
Hi all,
Linuxmint 17.3 KDE Rosa (yes, I know it's old, but it does what I want (make .isos out of my DVDs to watch from my hard drive), and new Linux does not -- to my knowledge). I am using K3b to do so.
Anyway, when I
Code:sudo apt updateI get:

Searching the web, it seems to say either there is a problem package or apt itself needs updating (I suspect this because reading several pages says that my apt is too old for some of the programs I have installed -- and why not? It's an older version of Linuxmint). But when I downloaded apt_1.0.10.2.tar.xz from Debian, and unpacked, tried to compile, I get this:
Code:./configure
configure: error: cannot run /bin/bash buildlib/config.subI tried this under bash, sh, and csh, and all exactly the same output. There is NO config.sub anywhere on the hard drive period (I used the find command as well as a shell program I have used for decades to search for it). I don't know if the lack of the file on the system would give that error. I could never comprehend coding, though I wanted to and tried to.
BTW, my install of VLC does not seem to respond to any of the settings I change. Have I installed from the wrong repos?
