Discovered that the cause was because
Repository 'http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb stable Release' changed its 'Origin' value from 'Google, Inc.' to 'Google LLC'
and apt is asking (on behalf of google) for me to accept this change. Telling me to check my connection is so misleading! Why not tell me that apt returned an error and I should try running apt manually!!!
