What was the exact change in the sources?

If it failed to fetch some archive, try a different mirror. Sometimes
though, depending on the change in your sources, it could be due to a
mismatch between the versions available. Try "sudo aptitude clean" (or
"sudo aptitude autoclean", I never remember which) to clean your apt
cache and try updating again.
