Re: apt-get gives MD5Sum mismatch

Thanks for the tip. I had already googled and come across the
suggestions that the problem could be due to not syncing with the mirror
and that a change of the mirror in sources.list to ftp2.de.debian.org
would help. I did this and it is workig like a charm.

Hi:

I am trying to update my unstable on one of my linux machines and it
gives

Failes to fetch
http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/unstable/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz
MD5Sum mismatch

same for Packages.gz in non-free/binary-i386
W: Could'nt stat source package list http: //http.us.debian.org
unstable/main Packages
(/var/lib/apt/lists/http.us.debian.org_debian_dists_unstable_main_binary-i386_Packages)
-stat (2 No such file or directory)
and another similar message. Now I have another linux machine and that
has the same sources.list file and seems to have no problem.

How does one get around this difficulty?


I ran into this yesterday trying to install jdk from unstable (sid).
When I changed my mirror from what it was to
"http://ftp.debian.org/debian"; in /etc/apt/sources.list it went away for
me. Can't say why, but it did.

Thanks.
