Thanks Brian ... Followed your suggestion (quoted below)
and finally got the  update to work (sort of) ... but with
these error messages (and a bunch of other problems):

The repository may no longer be available or could not be contacted because of network problems. If available an older version of the failed index will be used. Otherwise the repository will be ignored. Check your network connection and ensure the repository address in the preferences is correct.

Failed to fetch http://archive.getdeb.net/ubuntu/dists/trusty-getdeb/apps/binary-amd64/Packages gnutls_handshake() failed: Handshake failed Failed to fetch http://archive.getdeb.net/ubuntu/dists/trusty-getdeb/apps/binary-i386/Packages gnutls_handshake() failed: Handshake failed Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

The application launcher just "blinks" and does not open,
so I cannot access anything there.

So, I tried this:  t420: sudo synaptic ... [sudo] password for joe: ...
and got these error messages:

** (synaptic:2749): WARNING **: Error retrieving accessibility bus address: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.a11y.Bus was not provided by any .service files Fontconfig warning: "/etc/fonts/conf.d/50-user.conf", line 14: reading configurations from ~/.fonts.conf is deprecated. please move it to /home/joe/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf manually

(synaptic:2749): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_widget_hide: assertion 'GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)' failed

And ... now I have no sound and I am seeing a variety of
weird problems, including the size of the display changes
(fonts increasing in size) arbitrarily and spuriously in
some applications. So, I have to CTRL - repeatedly to
reduce the contents image size.

It says you have a duplicate entry for your google chrome
repository in your sources.list file, which could be in just
/etc/apt/sources.list  or in a file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d
or any combination of the two. I'd check it with:
cd /etc/apt; grep -r chrome sources.list*
and see which files it come back as having a match and
then just delete one of the lines in the file, or the whole
file if it's only has one repository line in it.
