This mirror works OK for me.  Either the problem has since been resolved, or
the mirror is OK and the problem is specific to you or your network (e.g.,
a transparent proxy server run by your ISP).

The base-config process runs as root; that is not the reason for this error.
There was some problem acquiring the lock.  This could be related to your
