Package: apt Version: 0.6.45 Severity: normal
For a long time now, apt has been failing to install packages due to an md5sum mistmatch. There is no particular pattern to the packages that fail, it seems random. An example; Failed to fetch http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/pool/main/p/pingus/pingus-data_0.6.0-8.4_all.deb MD5Sum mismatch E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing? Immediately running an apt-get update and repeating the install attempt causes the same error. I am reluctant to use fix-missing on principle; md5sum correctness checking exists for good reasons. -- Package-specific info: -- apt-config dump -- APT ""; APT::Architecture "i386"; APT::Build-Essential ""; APT::Build-Essential:: "build-essential"; Dir "/"; Dir::State "var/lib/apt/"; Dir::State::lists "lists/"; Dir::State::cdroms "cdroms.list"; Dir::State::userstatus "status.user"; Dir::State::status "/var/lib/dpkg/status"; Dir::Cache "var/cache/apt/"; Dir::Cache::archives "archives/"; Dir::Cache::srcpkgcache "srcpkgcache.bin"; Dir::Cache::pkgcache "pkgcache.bin"; Dir::Etc "etc/apt/"; Dir::Etc::sourcelist "sources.list"; Dir::Etc::sourceparts "sources.list.d"; Dir::Etc::vendorlist "vendors.list"; Dir::Etc::vendorparts "vendors.list.d"; Dir::Etc::main "apt.conf"; Dir::Etc::parts "apt.conf.d"; Dir::Etc::preferences "preferences"; Dir::Bin ""; Dir::Bin::methods "/usr/lib/apt/methods"; Dir::Bin::dpkg "/usr/bin/dpkg"; DPkg ""; DPkg::Pre-Install-Pkgs ""; DPkg::Pre-Install-Pkgs:: "/usr/sbin/dpkg-preconfigure --apt || true"; -- (no /etc/apt/preferences present) -- -- /etc/apt/sources.list -- #deb file:///cdrom/ sarge main deb http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ testing main non-free contrib deb-src http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ testing main non-free contrib deb http://security.debian.org/ testing/updates main deb-src http://security.debian.org/ testing/updates main -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.17.7rt Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages apt depends on: ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-6 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libgcc1 1:4.1.1-16 GCC support library ii libstdc++6 4.1.1-16 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 Versions of packages apt recommends: pn debian-archive-keyring <none> (no description available) -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
