You're a genius, Alexander!!! That did it...one little '/' too many! I ran sudo apt-get update, got a screenful of beautiful text, then, for good measure, I went out and ran Update Manager and let it load a bunch of stuff...everything worked as normal...
I need to ask, where in the world are you? I am in Bloomington, Indiana, USA and it is just after 9:30PM. I sure hope I haven't been keeping you up nights. I really appreciate your effort and I especially appreciate how you were never condescending,no matter how little obviously know.
