When I use Software Updater, I keep getting the message, "Failed to download package files. Check your internet connection." My connection is fine.
After searching around on the forums, I changed my update source from/to 'Main Server' to reset the cache. It reset just fine, but the error persisted.
Was able to install most of the updates by selecting each update individually in Software Updater, then skipping the ones that caused the error.
The handful that continue to generate the error (both individually and when grouped) are attached as a pic...
"sudo-apt-update" yielded no failures or 404 errors. But it did end with the line, "5 packages can be upgraded. Run 'apt list --upgradable' to see them."
Okay...quite a bit changed. Here's the output from the last command...

Yep. I re-ran software updater and now it only showed 2 missing. Looks like they installed fine. It's asking for a reboot to complete, so I'll do that.
Gonna call this solved, and will re-post here if the problem resurfaces post-reboot.
