Do you use a http proxy?  I have had my proxy get out of sync and end up
caching a bad Packages file, so every time it downloaded it the proxy
gave me the wrong one and I got messages that the checksum on the
downloaded package was wrong when in fact the package was right but
Packages.gz was corrupt.  Forcing the proxy to refresh the file solved
the problem (as did turning of the use of the proxy temporarily).
