I'm sure I've seen this error message before, but I can't remember what 
I did to resolve it. A quick Google reveals that this can be caused by 
http proxy problems. See this thread:

You might also want to try downloading the latest version of repo, as 
described here:

I vaguely remember that that may have fixed it for me.
