Package: apt Version: 0.8.14.1 Severity: normal As documented in many different places, mirrors that haven't yet switched to newer mirroring scripts <http://lists.debian.org/debian-mirrors-announce/2011/02/msg00001.html> will update the InRelease file at the wrong phase of the mirroring process, causing the mirror to produce "Hash Sum Mismatch" errors for long periods of time. Most mirrors don't seem to have switched to new mirroring scripts yet. To work around this, please consider providing an apt option to disable the use of InRelease files, which would allow the use of such mirrors without experiencing prolonged brokenness every day during mirroring.
