I performed the following checks to follow up on your suggestion:

     rcdawson at Bestbox:~ > cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/getdeb.list
     # deb http://archive.getdeb.net/ubuntu trusty-getdeb apps

     rcdawson at Bestbox:~ > lsb_release -sc
     rebecca

You suggest "Changing that value and then running apt-get update could
be the solution."  I think that you mean to tell me to edit
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/getdeb.list to read "trusty", but it seems that
it already does. 

Incidentally, I said I was running Mint 17.  It is actually 17.1.

Am I reading this correctly?  If so, why is lsb_release -sc returning
rebecca?
