deb http://packages.linuxmint.com/ maya main upstream import
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise main restricted universe 
multiverse
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise-updates main restricted 
universe multiverse
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise-security main restricted 
universe multiverse
deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/ precise partner
deb http://packages.medibuntu.org/ precise free non-free
