Run

Code:

and fix it.

Tried that, but still get the same reading. I'm taking the plunge ....saved all my files etc., I have just downloaded Mint 17.3 and I am going to re-install the whole package.

Well, why bother asking for help?
Remove the PPA > Refresh Cache and get on with your business.

Sorry if this bugged you. I thought if there was a quick fix I'd give it a try. On the other hand I have been thinking of updating to the newer version, and this just gave me the reason to do it. Thanks for the suggestions.
