I am just a simple user often encountering "MD5Sum mismatch"s and am
trying to help you fix it.

Yes, that normally works. However it would be best if the bug were fixed.

I don't want to find any corrupt file. I don't want to know mirrors
internals. I don't even (intentionally) use any mirrors in my
sources.lists. I am not a mirrors person. I am a simple lowest level
(but still root) user, trying to give you enough information so you can
fix your algorithms in order to never ever expose the user to "MD5Sum
mismatch" errors again. Thank you.
