anyone having a problem updating their lucid lynx repo?

Torch has a lot of great extras, such as music and video players, torrent downloader, facelift for facebook; basically it's great for play. Don't get me wrong, it was great but my focus on this computer is productivity and I need a web browser to match. I like using Chrome based browsers as well as Firefox, but I hate having Google involved in everything (like this blog *grumble*) so I go for alternative browsers based on Chrome, minus the Google.
