Those look like the Wheezy versions that are in Mepis 12 & MX-14, a /usr/bin/apt executable wasn't included in the apt package until the version that's in Jessie.

I don't know enough about debian stable to know if its safe for the poster to update his /etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian.list to jessie and then do a
dist-upgrade. IMHO it might be better for eemaestro to say he prefers to stay with an older product and maybe hint why or alternatively consider doing a clean install of MX-15

As I have prevously tested synaptic works without the need of that missing apt executable the choice is plentiful so no pressure from me.

The reason I'm sticking with an older product (64 bit MEPIS 12 wheezy) is I prefer KDE to xfce. Not that I like MEPIS 12. It's unstable. However, it's been a few years since I tried xfce. Maybe I will try the MX-15 live DVD. But first I must replace my DVD burner, as it stopped burning.
