EDIT - sorry all, I solved my problem just by deleting then recreating the repositories. No idea what was wrong but this fixed it ... D'OH

Hi.I normally leave extras-devel and extras-testing disabled, but I have used them occasionally to get the odd app that interests me.

I enabled them today to get the Tor status app. but it wasn't shown in the downloads. I did a manual refresh, but no joy. This reminded me that the last time I wanted to get an app from exras-devel/testing (psswitcher) I couldn't find that in app manager either when the developer stated it was available.

AFAIK my entries in app manager for the repositories all work OK - they were set up many moons ago, they did formerly work, and haven't been changed since then.

I then did apt-get update from xterm and I got the following output. From tjhe errors (which I've highlighted red) there's clearly something wrong, but I have no experience with the repositories other than via app manager (which is giving no errors, just failing to find app's). Can anyone advise whether there is a general problem or if it is local to my device?

Here's the apt-get output:

$ sudo gainroot
