I did the above, and then ran Software Updater again. I got the same 
error message, Failed to download repository information, and stepped 
through the Setting tabs, and closed the Setting box. I turned to this 
machine to handle another email, and when I turned back to ENU-1, a new 
dialog box was there:

The software on this computer is up to date.


I don't think that's really true. I'm planning on finishing migrating 
whatever's left on ENU-1 to ENU-2 one of these days, "real soon now." 
Maybe even Sunday afternoon or Monday. Once that is done, I'll probably 
use ENU-1 as a place to try out Xubuntu 20.04, and a couple of other 
Ubuntu based distros.

I did keep a copy of all the stuff that scrolled up the screen with sudo 
apt update and sudo apt upgrade. Maybe tomorrow I'll read them line by 
line and see if there's any useful information to be found.

Thanks for the reply.
