Seems like either some of your repos are down or your network connection is spotty. You might want to run apt-get update in a while loop to make life easier. Here's what I use to update and upgrade my system:

while ! ( date && sudo apt-get update ) ; do sleep 10s ; done && sudo apt-get upgrade ; date

Thanks .. I purged the repo and all is well once again !
