That probably goes back to the other error where it did refuse
to access http://archive.neon.kde.org

A first step could be using synaptic to change this to https
instead. I would assume that shows up in Settings->Repositories
in synaptic.

ciao,
  Torsten.

I have now added the s to the http line in
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/kde(etc) but it made no diff. Used geany which
runs much like gedit but doesn't crash and scramble the files 10% of the
time.

Next?  Thank you Torsten

Maybe so Mike, but I bought this thing from false advertising.  So I
have nearly $400 in it.  I'd like to get some use out of it.   I found
in the night, after I'd added the s to http in the synaptic
source.list.d, that the weekly openscad was available and installable. 
Now for Orcaslicer. Flashforge version. Thank you for your patience.

The OpenSCAD discussion is totally fine. I think what the shouting
is about is simply that this discussion started as reply to a
totally different topic (and mail subject).

When starting new topics, it's recommended to not just reply and
edit the mail subject, but go with a fresh mail, or maybe use
"Compose message to..." or whatever that's called in the various
mail applications.

ciao,
Torsten.

I don’t see the connection.

It’s advisable to start a new thread for a new subject - it’s quite easy.

When I checked the thread to see what was new, I found, to my annoyance, that it had been killed off as far as the subject of interest to me was concerned.

Your own discussion is effectively hidden and if you ever want to refer back to it, it will be difficult to find.

No need, found apt's sources.d/ list, added an s to the http on line 2,
now it installs and runs fine from synaptic.

Thanks,  Gene
