16.04 Software Updater: Failed to download repository information

Hi Howefield,

I upgraded to 16.04 from 14.04 this week and am running into the same "Software Updater: Failed to download repository information" issue, so I searched online and found your interactions on this post. Hoping you could take my issue up, here are the outputs of

Code:
