do you have a firewall setup on the pc?
the message is saying that it can not connect to port 4001 on your computer.
turn off the firewall and see if it works then.
what happens if you untick the rsync package in the updater and do an update?

Re: Updating
Could it be that you used your own host (= 127.0.0.1) as proxy somehow?jdtexas wrote: Could not connect to localhost:4001 (127.0.0.1). - connect (111 Connection refused)
Re: Updating
So if you used your own host as a proxy so maybe you also used some sort of proxy process somewhere somehow in the past? e.g. 'squid' or something like that?jdtexas wrote:I checked to see if the 127.0.0.1 address was listed as a proxy. It was. I deleted it
As I see it your problem is this:
For reasons you did not state yet you configured your own machine as proxy and you had it running on port 4001; hence all the package managers accessed their repos via this host:port combination. But now: Somehow you stopped the proxy from working, e.g. either by reconfiguring it or by removing it from your system. But your package managers are still pointing at the --now defunct-- proxy, hence you get this error message: "Could not connect to localhost:4001 (127.0.0.1). - connect (111 Connection refused)"
So as I see it you have to completely remove any remaining references to the proxy and access the repos (and everything else?) directly. Then it should work.
