E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

I did nothing other than do periodic upgrades.

What is up?

Looks like the webupd8team have removed the Jupiter project PPA from Launchpad.

Here (http://ppa.launchpad.net/webupd8team/jupiter/)

Remove the PPA from your Software Sources and see if the error goes away.

Good Luck

The error does go away, but what do the initial lines mean? Is that the only package affected?

Do you remember why you added the Jupiter PPA to your Software Sources?

It must have been to install a specific piece of software.

A PPA is not controlled by Canonical and the person who maintains it can remove it at any time.

404 errors usually means the source repository has been removed.

Look Here (https://launchpad.net/~webupd8team) for Webupd8team on Launchpad.
