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.

I'd appreciate any help.

Thanks.
