Hi all,
This has been an ongoing problem for me - since December, I believe. Whenever I click on the "recommended updates" button, it shows me what is being checked, but ultimately it shows me the same repositories keep failing, over and over again. What's going wrong?
I've made screen shots - do these help?

Re: Problems with repositories on doing updates
You can ignore translation package index files not being found.
Perhaps the text in Update Manager could be more clear; if you run "apt update" from the command line to do the same action, it shows you it is ignoring these translation package index files For example, the output for the top line in your screenshot when doing "apt update" is:
What "Ign" means, I found somebody having given a good explanation of that here: http://www.aptosid.com/index.php?name=P ... bb756#2208
