Comment:

 Was now able to get 'olpc-update' working from the text console (alt-
 ctl-F2) on another XO.  So I'll assume I made a typographical mistake when
 setting up the root session in the text console, and that this mistake is
 what caused my problem.

 --------

 The network being down was completely implausible to me.  I used the
 network right before issuing the first 'olpc-update', and I used the
 network right after the first 'olpc-update' had failed.

 Please note that my internet connection is through a proxy.  For that
 reason, I cannot use the graphical update in Control Panel -- I have no
 easy means to indicate the presence of the proxy to the Control Panel
 session.  In Terminal, I manually set environmental variable RSYNC_PROXY
 before attempting updates.  I also did the same manual setup of
 RSYNC_PROXY in the text console before issuing the update command.  There
 must have been a typo, for the update to not have found the proxy.  But
 the network interface was not down when I issued the command.
