Yeah, apt-get systems dont support rpm systems and vice-versa..
One is RedHat (CentOS, Fedora, Scientific Linux) the other is Debian (Mint, [KLUX]buntu).
Those use completly diffrent packaging systems.
You just tried to (re-)install a non-existent package.

Have a try with:
Code:
sudo apt-get --reinstall apt-get
That is considered to be worthwhile before upgrading/reinstalling the rest of the system.

LEARN ABOUT DEBIAN
debget
DEBGET(1) Debian-goodies documentation DEBGET(1)NAME
debget - Fetch a .deb for a package in APT's database
SYNOPSIS
debget package [package ...]
DESCRIPTION
debget fetches a .deb for one or more packages from an Debian mirror. It uses apt-get(1) to find out the URL so it will download the same
version from the same server as apt-get would do. The .deb will be downloaded with curl(1) and stored in your current working directory.
KNOWN BUGS
debget will not work for packages that are available in apt-get's cache. If you need that functionality please use the .download option in
aptitude.
