Bug Description
Due to the rolling nature of LMDE, MintUpdate defaulted to levels 1-3 only is not the best way to update/upgrade the system, imho.
Checking the Forum we start to see some problems already from users using MintUpdate with default settings, and i do believe with time more will come as wheezy develops.
I understand the value of this tool in a frozen release, like the ubuntu-based Mint versions, but until MintUpdate is "tweaked" to LMDE it can do more harm than good in the long run.
So this is not a new bug, as the the Devs already stated this tool's limitations, but more a wishlist: please remove for now MintUpdate from LMDE, until it's properly ported.
Tks for your time

I can understand your concerns regarding mintUpdate, however we've
always given the same advice. Its a rolling distribution, prepare to
be surprised once in a while. We're looking for ways to better adapt
the tool to the nature of a rolling release, and would love to hear
more from people how this would best be implemented.
