Still no release fpr trusty available but Ubuntu has updated lots of
libraries.

Today installing .deb packages made for vivid (which is the wrong ubuntu
release) worked as a dirty workaround to get mirage running with my MINT
17.2 ( = ubuntu 14.04 LTS).

This workaround is not recommended because
- installing .deb packages in unbuntu is usually not a good idea
- installing .deb packages from wrong releases is even a worse idea
- both can destroy your system

The workaround:
- be sure to have your data backupped, your system might be damaged!
- do an apt-get dist-upgrade and an apt-get upgrade to have all the library
updates installed
- install banshee-extensions-common 2.4.0-4ubuntu1 with GDebi
  for my system I found them here:
 
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/vivid/amd64/banshee-extensions-common/2.4.0-4ubuntu1
- do an apt-get check to check if the dependencies work
    -If apt-get check reports no errors: proceed
    -If apt-get check reports errors: uninstall the package with GDebi and
        - forget the workaraound or
        - try a package for another type of processor, found here:
         
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/vivid/+source/banshee-community-extensions
- Install the mirage .deb with GDebi
  I found mine here:
 
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/vivid/i386/banshee-extension-mirage/2.4.0-4ubuntu1
- do an apt-get check to check if the dependencies work
   - if not: Uninstall with GDebi 
- Start Synaptic (it performs some more checks, if it doesn't report errors,
anything shoud work and you should find mirage in banshee, now.
