Actually it looks like package-archives defaults to containing gnu and
nongnu, so unless you're installing from melpa you wouldn't even need
that. But that might be a recent change -- what version of Emacs are you
running?

I wonder if you have a package in `package-selected-packages' that no
longer exists, and that's why the update is failing?
