I've been through multiple forums for a day now and tried many things. Same issue for Gimp package, which I uninstalled and re-installed to solve the problem for it, but I don't understand the overall problem here.

Thanks a bunch,

Company firewall configuration had changed. Once corrected I was able to connect and update.
