Cannot download updates

I’m getting this error when I try to get updates.

WARNING: Debian Package Update Check Result: Could not check for software updates! (apt-get code: 100)
Please manually check:
(Open a terminal, Start Menu → Applications → System → Terminal.)

When I try to do it manually, i get this…

Any help would be greatly appreciated. This is on a snapshot if that matters. it all seemed to start when I created the snapshot, but it could easily be coincidence. I edited some stuff out since I’m limited to 5 links per post.

здесь никто ни чем не помогает. я не получил ни один ответ на свои вопросы.

Does this persist?

This looks wrong. Mistake during copy and paste or did you edit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/whonix.list by hand?

Generally, please have a look, it explains to get a new Tor circuit in case of connection issues and other common hiccups during updating:

Good day,

@qw222:

Russian:

Мы говорили уже. Вы здесь не так. Если у вас есть проблемы с Qubes Форума, мы не можем вам помочь. Почему вы спрашиваете Qubes вопросы здесь. Почему нет. Мы не можем помочь вам в этом. Мы не команда Qubes. Спросите их, если вам нужна помощь для Qubes. Говоря, что они не имеют полезную информацию не меняет тот факт, что вы не правы здесь. Их информация полезна. Если вы не получите его, мы не можем вам помочь.

Также не спам в потоках, которые не имеют ничего общего с вашим вопросом

English:

What do you mean? We told you already that you are asking questions which don’t apply to Whonix directly. Just writing that you don’t like the Qubes Forum and don’t understand their information doesn’t change the fact that you are wrong here and certainly doesn’t entitle you to get additional support. Also, please don’t write/spam in threads with other topics if what you write doesn’t fit them.

Have a nice day,

Ego

Hi Patrick, thank you for your reply. I edited it for the sake of posting because the forum doesn’t allow new users to post links.

I was able to run the update successfully after about four days and now I’m getting that there are no updates available, but it’s been close to a week without updating. Previous to making the snapshot I was getting updates a couple times a week it seemed like. Has anything been release over the last week? Is there a way to do a version check?

This is what I see from a successfully ran check for updates…
