(I can't even try reproducing this as I'm i386 and he's amd64.) I keep thinking I will have time to give this a proper answer. Basically that would require manually walking through downloading each of the Packages and Release files in the archive and verifying signatures and file checksums. The tool is complaining about a mismatch. At some point doing all of that manually should reproduce the same mismatch. When I have needed to do that before (behind corporate caching proxies) I always found that the caching proxy was returning stale files. That is about the only hint I can provide at this time. Bob
