Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

Remove the word "universe" from the file /etc/apt/sources.list. I don't
know how to do it using the GUI program responsible for this.

Hope you can help.

Try to change universe to main. The Release file have
main/binary-amd64/Packages entry. Switching to another mirror/repository
won't fix this if you still have universe in /etc/apt/sources.list.

It should look like this:

deb http://mirror.fsf.org/trisquel slaine main
or
deb http://archive.trisquel.info/trisquel slaine main

If you the entries are under /etc/apt/sources.list.d/, better use sudo
synaptic (Settings-> Repositories) or sudo software-properties-gtk.
