     I figured this out.  The key log messages was:

localhost xinetd[29274]: Deactivating service apt-proxy due to excessive incoming connections. 

     A single `apt-get update` creates many connections.  I had:

-----------------------------

     defaults
               instances = 8

-----------------------------

at the top of my /etc/xinetd.conf.  apt-get needs more than this.  The
highest number of connection I saw was 12.  I changed my apt­proxy
service to include "instances = 20" and it works fine now.

Thanks for your help!
