I'm not sure what you're asking since I prefaced the error messages with "Repeated attempts to access the App Store yielded equally repeated crap-outs; following is a small sample".
They were generated when while online I opened the AppStore app which tried (repeatedly) to connect to the App Store, only to have the app quit with the message "Cannot Connect to the App Store". (And it just performed the exact same way when I tried it again.)
