etch-proposed-updates amd64 Release file fails checksum [Was: possible problem with ftp.us.debian.org]
Dear Developers, I found a problem with our package repository for amd64 in etch-proposed-updates. More than a month ago I filed a bug report http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=418956 which was merged with another one later on http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=419505 but problem persists and no workarounds were mentioned. IIRC amd64 is the 2nd most popular architecture, and most of the people use proposed-updates, I just wonder if there is any workaround, or when the issue gets resolved.

Although it's now significantly /safer/ to use proposed-updates than it was in the past, because now only packages accepted by the SRMs are present in proposed-updates reducing the risk of needing to downgrade hold a package to get security support, proposed-updates is not configured by default and there's no particular reason that it should be. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.

ok - point is taken and a workaround is to don't use proposed-updates at all (which I have to do for the last months anyways). It remains strange though why amd64 is so unfortunate to have this bug of broken 'official' part of Debian repository.
