1) What do you mean "grayed out"? In a dock or a menu somewhere? It MAY
mean the new version of the application is installed in a different
location from the previous version of the application. How did you install
2.6.7? If you installed using a .deb package, normally you do not need to
uninstall first. However if you installed it another way, you may need to
uninstall the old one first.

2) Did the GetDeb people update the application or their site to work on
Mint? (The site is meant to work with Ubuntu and Debian.) If they have not,
you may need to manually edit the apt configuration.

What do you see when you open a terminal and type this command:

sudo apt-get update


If you see errors saying apt cannot locate the server, you may need to
update the configuration. See the recent discussion for the 2.6.8 release.
The thread started in September but look at the information in these two
messages, and the ones around them:
