| May 19, 2018 at 15:31 | comment | added | terdon Mod | @Zanna think of it this way: if the answer is "remove the Mint repos" and the OP is fine with that, let's call it on topic. If the answer requires correcting a problem on the Mint end, then I would say it's off topic. | |
| May 19, 2018 at 15:26 | comment | added | Zanna Mod | Yeah, but I mean, if there was an SE site where Mint was on topic but not Ubuntu, I wouldn't expect the question we closed because it was caused by a problem with the Mint repositories to be on-topic there, leaving the asker with nowhere to go to get that repo issue fixed (except U&L, SU, etc!) though I guess that's beside the point. | |
| May 19, 2018 at 15:22 | comment | added | terdon Mod | @Zanna well yes, because they would be using mint, not Ubuntu. I guess I was trying to say that if the problem is on the Mint side of things, say their repo has an issue, then we can't help. | |
| May 19, 2018 at 15:01 | comment | added | Zanna Mod | Thanks, I appreciate this and I mostly agree, but this seems slightly at odds with that answer. Maybe I'm missing something in the difference between repositories and software, but "if there is a compatibility issue with the packages in the repository and you can't install something because you have the Mint repos, then I would say your problem is off topic" seems off to me. If someone asked a question here like "I'm using Mint, and I added this Ubuntu repository and now I have a package management issue" I would vote to close that question... | |
