Oh! The last part of that error message is as follows - Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead. ### execution of /sw/bin/apt-get-lockwait failed, exit code 100 WARNING: Failure while updating indexes.
