Hi,I have experienced problems installing some packages which are available in Ubuntu and I wonder if I have the 'right' set of repositories. I am running Mint 15 32-bit.

I am confused; is ubuntu 'suite raring' included in the line from above:
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ raring main restricted universe multiverse ?
I must be missing something I should see. I would greatly appreciate any suggestion that would allow me to install flex and bison as well as other 'standard' Linux programs.
Thanks in Advance,
