Hello,
a few days ago, a binNMU for the src:libselinux Debian package hit
stretch-proposed-updates, providing among others a file named
libselinux1_2.6-3+b2_amd64.deb - unfortunately such a file name has been
in use at the very same place for another upload that took place in
June[2]. As a result, there is a duplicate.
TTBOMK, such duplicates are not forbidden but fairly confusing. Also,
the apt-cacher-ng proxy appearently does not take such re-usal into
account and serves the old copy if still in the cache, subsequently
triggering a "Hash Sum mismatch" error from apt:
E: Failed to fetch http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/libs/libselinux/libselinux1_2.6-3+b2_amd64.deb Hash Sum mismatch
Hashes of expected file:

Long story short, while I can purge the files in my cache to unbreak my
private buildd, please still consider another binNMU for src:libselinux
to resolve this situation in a sane way.
This is the line as proposed by reportbug. Please double-check:
nmu libselinux_2.6-3+b2 . ANY . stretch . -m "Resolve version number collision"
Regards,
Christoph
