 What else to try?

First,  happens when you do apt-get update  apt-get upgrade

Just a wild stab in the dark, is bzip2 installed :) 
(apt-cache policy bzip2)

There are also plenty of hits on google for:
W: Failed to fetch bzip2: Hash Sum mismatch

This link (https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/6841) suggests:
rm /var/cache/apt/pkgcache.bin
rm /var/cache/apt/srcpkgcache.bin

These should be regenerated with an apt-get update command.

And you are only having trouble with the CRAN repositories?

Correct. (And, yes, I do have bzip2 :-)

Yes: I'm currently on LMDE UP5, those packages are LMDE UP6, I
don't want to upgrade this box until I get my spare box updated.

Since your box is in somewhat disarrary, you could 
wget r-base-core_2.15.2-1~squeezecran.0_amd64.deb then
dpkg -i r-base-core_2.15.2-1~squeezecran.0_amd64.deb although you may
run into conflicts and/or dependency problems.

Also, the apt-get update output seems to be snipped, is the CRAN
repository the only one in your sources.list?

Finally, from what I've read on some of those Google hits, the Hash Sum
mismatch error indicates you have packages which don't agree with APT
and the mirror, although I don't know how APT works this out. If you can
figure it could you please post the solution?

TTBOMK, and someone please correct me if I'm wrong, your troubles are
somehow due to you not doing an apt-get upgrade.

Agreed, alter a quoted text is almost (?) a crime. At least a very bad

[APT] how to debug Hash Sum mismatch?

2013-01-25 Thread Tom Roche

I'm trying to update debian packages for R, for which the recommended
mirrors are listed @

http://cran.r-project.org/mirrors.html

My sources.list formerly contained

deb http://lib.stat.cmu.edu/R/CRAN/bin/linux/debian squeeze-cran/

with which I was able to keep up-to-date for many months. But tonight I'm 
getting

 E: Failed to fetch 
 http://lib.stat.cmu.edu/R/CRAN/bin/linux/debian/squeeze-cran/r-base-core_2.15.2-1~squeezecran.0_amd64.deb:
  Hash Sum mismatch

So I changed my sources.list

- deb http://lib.stat.cmu.edu/R/CRAN/bin/linux/debian squeeze-cran/
+ deb http://watson.nci.nih.gov/cran_mirror/bin/linux/debian squeeze-cran/

did `sudo aptitude update`, and got

 W: Failed to fetch 
 bzip2:/var/lib/apt/lists/partial/watson.nci.nih.gov_cran%5fmirror_bin_linux_debian_squeeze-cran_Packages:
  Hash Sum mismatch

So I changed my sources.list

- deb http://lib.stat.cmu.edu/R/CRAN/bin/linux/debian squeeze-cran/
- deb http://watson.nci.nih.gov/cran_mirror/bin/linux/debian squeeze-cran/
+ deb http://mirrors.nics.utk.edu/cran/bin/linux/debian squeeze-cran/

did `sudo aptitude update`, and got

 W: Failed to fetch 
 bzip2:/var/lib/apt/lists/partial/mirrors.nics.utk.edu_cran_bin_linux_debian_squeeze-cran_Packages:
  Hash Sum mismatch

Given that CRAN is a fairly reliable organization, and I have just
failed with 3 recommended mirrors, I'm wondering if something is wrong
on my end. How to debug?

TIA, Tom Roche tom_ro...@pobox.com
