The last step of the installation cleans APT by performing a call to  &#8220;dpkg &#8211;configure -a&#8221;. This step hangs the installer and consequently  the user needs to force-kill the installer and is faced with a dialog  asking him\/her to run &#8220;dpkg &#8211;configure -a&#8221; the first time he\/she  launches mintUpdate or Synaptic. Once this is done, the system acts  normally. The installation itself, apart from not cleaning APT, isn&#8217;t  impacted.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Information about the (wrong) ISO: <\/strong><\/p>\n<pre>linuxmint-debian-201009-gnome-cd-i386.iso\r\nmd5sum: b1c7b0e2fb97dece42ee4db9016aff65<\/pre>\n<p><strong>What to do if you downloaded this ISO: <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you successfully installed LMDE, you can start using it.
