apt update broken for days?



I haven't been able to do an apt-get update successfully for three or
four days now; does anyone know what's going on?

I get these failures every time I try:

A bunch of other updates _do_ work, but not these.  At this point I'm
wondering if something is wrong on my system, because it seems like
these errors would have certainly been found and fixed by now...?

Help!
