Ah ha!
When I did this an error message came up to the effect that curl was
unable to resolve: www-secure.novell.com

This was despite ping and firefox working OK. (I am behind a firewall.)
dig, however, was not working.
I added my nameservers to the local /etc/resolv.conf file,  and bingo! 
The update is now proceeding.
 

Thanks to those of you who responded
