How do we install cinnamon in Ubuntu raring? I added deb http://packages.linuxmint.com/ debian main import backport upstream romeo to the sources list and used apt-get update to update the sources.

The result was :

Reading package lists... Done
W: GPG error: http://packages.linuxmint.com debian Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 3EE67F3D0FF405B2

Next, I tried installing cinnamon as follows, I get errors...

$ sudo apt-get install cinnamon nemo

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.

How to correct this?

  • Hi Roshan, fossfreedom covers this question with an excellent answer in the duplicate link provided. It will help you solve this problem although I recommend removing that PPA you added from linuxmint first. – Luis Alvarado Jun 15 '13 at 05:26
