Edit: Last night, I used the "Fix MergeList problems" option in the maintenance tab of software sources and at least for now, it seems to be working. So I probably wont need help with this anymore, hopefully.
Every hour or two, the Update Manager keeps giving me an error message saying that my APT configuration is corrupt and that I should switch to another Linux Mint mirror. It usually goes away when I do a manual refresh but it just keeps coming back. I have also tried switching to a different mirror but I get the same error. It also tells me to run apt-get update
but even if I add "sudo" it just gives me an error message saying to run apt-get update
.
It happened again so I'm adding screenshots in case they help. The first is the initial error, then it's the error I get when I try to change the repository and the third is the error I get when I try running the command it suggested:

Input/output error is very weird, maybe you got file corruption?
Does
dmesg
show any errors with the disk or file system?If you run
you might be able to figure which file it is that cannot be read.
I'll try that if the issue happens again because right now it seems to be working. Last night, I used the "Fix MergeList problems" option in the maintenance tab of software sources and that seems to have fixed it.
