Wade, basically  the settings for the RAM usage by apt are too
conservatively set to handle the amount of new information in your
sources configuration.

I can tell you what to do if you were running debian, as to setting an
apt cache parameter, which is set way too low sometimes. But I've
looked and the way ubuntu sets up /etc/apt is too different, and I
don't know where to put that setting.

I did a google and found that you could add the line

APT::Cache-Limit "8388608";

somewhere in the file 70debconf in /etc/apt/conf.d and it would help.
If that doesn't, you can simply add a few zeroes on the end of that
number.
