Agreed, alter a quoted text is almost (?) a crime. At least a very bad
habit.
Punishment: write 100 lines, without copy/paste: 
I shall not alter quoted text.

Just as an aside, I don't remember putting square brackets "[" and "]"
around the url. I consider it unethical/bad practice to alter the quoted
text but make it look like that is what they wrote.

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.

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.

Is there a reason for not
upgrading all those

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?

Re: [APT] how to debug "Hash Sum mismatch"?

2013-01-26 Thread Tom Roche

summary: trying to update R packages from recommended mirrors @

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

This has worked well for a long time, but now I keep getting errors like

Failed to fetch /squeeze-cran/: Hash Sum mismatch

No fix from either

sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/partial/*
sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/*
sudo aptitude update

or

sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/partial/*
sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/*
sudo apt-get update

Without knowing all your details, I'd probably:

rm /var/lib/apt/lists/*

rm /var/lib/apt/lists/partial/*

then try updating again.
