[CALUG] Problems mit Ubuntu upgrades - failed to download repository information?

I keep getting this result when I try to run my software updater on Ubuntu 19.10.  My internet connection is *totally fine*.  I can check the "Settings", but without the slightest hint of which one (if any) is actually failing, there's no way to fix anything.  Besides, when I change a repository setting (just arbitrarily, just to see), it does "updating software cache" for a minute or two - then crashes.  Every time.  No matter what I do.


Below is the tail of /var/log/syslog during the time of the failure, not very informative, at least to me.  Can anyone ponit me in a good direction for further investigation?  Thanks very much again, and cheers - Ed
