discover/apt-get update is now really short really quick


A month ago I used discover and typo'd my password. Before I could retype, I got an error dialog and no network traffic. So I restarted (aborted actually) and it said I was all up-to-date.
So I used apt-get update. But instead of seeing ~24 (or so) sources, it listed only about 6.
A week later I tried again...same thing.
apt-get upgrade says I'm all up-to-date. So does dist-upgrade.
I now get VERY few update notices.
My /etc/apt/sources.list file appears to be fully populated.
btw: Discover has gui problems so I have zero confidence in it.
I'm using Plasma 5.5.5, ubuntu 16.04 xenial (kubuntu), 4.4.4-47-generic x86_64.
What's going on? Did my abort of the update/upgrade kill me?
This is the update/upgrade from the past week.

This used to be several dozen "Get"s and at least a few upgrades always.
