Can someone help me update Bitcoin Core (Linux Mint)

[biddicoin]

Hello,

I tried to follow this guide http://bitzuma.com/posts/getting-started-with-bitcoin-core-on-ubuntu/

and got error messages (the original message was in german language - so I tried to translate it)

"Paket lists are loading... Error!
E: Encountered a section with no Package: header
E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/packages.medibuntu.org_dists_nadia_free_i18n_Translation-de
E: The paket list or the status data could not be read or opened."

So I think I have a chance to update if I manually download the 0.12.1 archive. But I don't know how to install it on my linux mint.

Can someone please help me?

Thank you

Biddi

You don't need to install like that..

Download: https://bitcoin.org/bin/bitcoin-core-0.12.1/bitcoin-0.12.1-linux64.tar.gz

Extract /bitcoin-0.12.1/bin/bitcoin-qt to a folder of your choice, for example ~/bitcoin

Then open a terminal:
$ cd bitcoin

Then:
$ ./bitcoin-qt &

When you want to upgrade just overwrite 'bitcoin-qt' and it's done.
