Thanks for such a quick response. Yes, I did get the iso from the official source, and yes, it is fully up to date (at least as far as I can tell). One thing that might be an issue, though, is that I'm in China, and what with the firewall here I'm wondering if that might be blocking access to some of the repositories, at least temporarily. Could that have anything to do with it?
