Install Updates could not fetch the package cache information lists

Dear forum,

I have trouble running the updater, and as I've checked the sticky on the subject it seems a common enough issue. Even though I managed to cut the error log down with about 2/3 by unchecking (all) other software in repository preferences, I'm still stuck with a few:

This is the log from the updater:

And this is the log from synaptic:

See apt-secure( 8 ) manpage for details.Repository 'http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal-backports InRelease' changed its 'Suite' value from 'focal-updates' to 'focal-backports'Repository 'http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal-backports InRelease' changed its default priority for apt_preferences(5) from 500 to 100.

It suggests looking at apt-secure( 8 ) manpage which I did, but that was a bit beyond my skills... Anyone have an idea?

OK, I actually figured this out. Went to the terminal and ran

Code:

apt update

as root, and was offered to accept the changes to the repositories on the fly.
