that you set a number value for that priority for the repo. And it gives you a list of being able to control the order of when something is pulled from. So it seems like, for example, Ubuntu by default, their repos and basically every repo, Ubuntu provides or PPAs, are all set for priority 500. And the way that you can change this number, and it will change the priority, but you don't actually have to do that. All you have to do is make sure that the repo you want to have priority is set higher in the list, so it checks that first and then goes into the rest. Now, this is a good solution, and that's not what Mint did. Instead of that, they do have it at the top, but they also change the priority number for their repos. And they have it from 700 to 750 depending on which repo you're talking about. Now, what happens is, if you install a PPA, that PPA is set to 500. And it creates a conflict between, no matter what order it is, the repo for Mint is automatically taken over because of that (14/54)
