Re-install repository problems

[n1ksn]

Greetings.  Yesterday I decided to modify my notebook running 32-bit LL 2.6 so I could add a second set of partitions to do a bit of distro-hopping.  I installed AntiX-15, but the grub bootloader got screwed up, likely due to an error I made while doing the install and I could not boot up LL.

So I re-installed LL 2.6 from a usb stick without formatting either the root or home partitions.  It went OK until the installer could not re-install previously installed packages.  When I went to use Lite Software I got an error message because certain repositories were not available (404 errors).  I could get into the Synaptic PM and used it and the command line to do some of the re-installs, updates, and upgrades.  However, the repository problem remained, keeping me from using the (I assume) scripts in the Control Center for Lite Software and Updates.

I did some research here on the forum and as a result went to Synaptic and unchecked these repositories:

http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/trusty main
http://dl.google.com/linux/talkplugin/deb/trusty main
http://repo.linuxliteos.com/linuxlite/trusty main

There was still a public key unavailable error for a fourth one, http://extras.ubuntu.com trusty, but now I could run Lite Software and Updates.  So I'm back in business, but I am concerned about having to uncheck those repositories, especially the LL one on your website.  They are for 32 bit machines.  Is there something in my installation screwed up because I didn't reformat, or did some script get clobbered?  Should I do a re-install again but format the root parition?  Or is there a simpler fix?

Thanks for any insight you might have.

Best regards,
Andy
