[XPS 13 Ubuntu 18.04] Cannot update package list

Question

See above error message - looks like all repositories are down. Also, a 500 response code indicates it is unlikely a client error. Anybody else experiencing problems? Any help from Dell support? Otherwise, internet connection is working as intended. best

Indeed - there was an unnoticed power outage - which corrupted the firewall's virus db - which made the firewall block all unsafe http requests => apt get update was blocked

**Update** The company's Sophos Firewall could have a negative impact - will update the issue when I know more.
