This _is_ the apt-get update. Here's a better/full output:
$ sudo apt-get update

That's where I hit CTRL-C... notice that on each apt-get update run,
it first fails to download what appears to be the sid/main amd64
Packages file of 6828kB, then seems to fail to download the _same_
file again, but this time it's 9119kB (even if I let it go through to
100%).
Same thing happens each time.
