Thanks for reporting.

The repository mentioned in the error message seems to be a PPA
(Personal Package Archive), it is not one of the official Ubuntu
repositories. You will probably need to contact the owners of this PPA
to get the packages also offered for 18.10 (Cosmic).

Title:
  When I attempt to update "Software & Updates" I get "Failed to
  download repository information" window.

Status in software-properties package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  The error window details are:

  E:The repository 'http://ppa.launchpad.net/webupd8team/indicator-
  kdeconnect/ubuntu cosmic Release' does not have a Release file.

  This is probably why the KDE app in the Software Boutique failed to
  install. The repository is not yet ready for release.
