It's either:
A)  your network isn't working properly
B)  The packages.linuxmint.com repository is down

If it's A, just troubleshoot your network.

If it's B, then you can either wait for it to come back up or add a new package repository in your /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
and then re-run your command  (be sure to choose a repository you trust)

Tried several times and got different results with different items
showing as "failed" each time.  Two different examples listed below.

How can I resolve this problem?

Could not download all repository indexes
The repository may no longer be available or could not be contacted
because of network problems. If available an older version of the failed
index will be used. Otherwise the repository will be ignored. Check your
network connection and ensure the repository address in the preferences
is correct.
