So I think it may have existed for a while? (It was also a testing machine... Maybe only one part of the archive got corrupted somehow?

Hang on, please disregard this part of my post, the mirror is up-to-date, but I was comparing with the old version of the deb file I last successfully downloaded. Stupid! The fact remains that (presumable all 600Meg) files downloaded directly from this mirror were corrupt, according to apt-get. Hmmm. My /var/cache/apt/archives has only 124Meg failed uploads, I wonder where the rest went. Anyway, the correct results for my test are: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# md5sum /var/cache/apt/archives/partial/libc6_2.3.2.ds1-22_powerpc.deb.FAILED 17a6aff5f72df60d303fbce0258d2962 /var/cache/apt/archives/partial/libc6_2.3.2.ds1-22_powerpc.deb.FAILED [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# apt-cache show libc6 | grep '^Size' Size: 4231786 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# apt-cache show libc6 | grep MD5sum MD5sum: ab0895ee6d8d2cf3b6906eb5228e5c25 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4231786 May 12 12:47 /var/cache/apt/archives/partial/libc6_2.3.2.ds1-22_powerpc.deb.FAILED Which md5sum is right?

Upgrading to Debian sarge
Hello, I am attempting to upgrade a powerpc based system to sarge. It was previously on testing, but hasn't been updated for months. I left the download going overnight (over 600Meg downloads according to aptitude), but it doesn't seem to like anything it downloads. No errors, no warnings, but no packages upgraded either. What is wrong? [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# aptitude install libc6 Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree Reading extended state information Initializing package states...
