mini-dinstall possibly leading to lots of 'Failed to fetch http://xyx/abd_1.2-3.deb Size mismatch'



We are running a service that automatically converts the 2300+ R packages
from CRAN (http://cran.r-project.org) into Debian binaries for both amd64 and
i386 on testing. This is joint work with Charles Blundell (CC'ed), which we
started when it was his GSoC 2008 gig. We use a Xen instance which is running
testing that is being made available to us at WU Vienna.

Every now and then mini-dinstall throws us a curve ball. Right now I am
seeing the errors below on my testing box (which is otherwise current). 

What can we do to fix the index file? I have removed Packages*, Release*,
Sources*, the Berkeley db file testing.db and others but I can't seem to find
a reliable fix. I also run apt-cacher-ng locally but that does not seem to be
the issue as we also get mismatches on the build machine itself which is not
running any caches.

Any hints? We looked into replacing mini-dinstall with reprepro. Is that the
best solution?  Are there better reference docs that the one or two hits
Google finds?

I can supply more details if that helped.

Many thanks,  Dirk
