hash sum mismatch
Hi all,
I got the following today :-
W: Failed to fetch
xz:/var/lib/apt/lists/partial/debian.ec.as6453.net_debian_dists_unstable_main_binary-amd64_Packages:
Hash Sum mismatch
W: Failed to fetch
xz:/var/lib/apt/lists/partial/debian.ec.as6453.net_debian_dists_unstable_non-free_binary-amd64_Packages:
Hash Sum mismatch
W: Failed to fetch
bzip2:/var/lib/apt/lists/partial/debian.ec.as6453.net_debian_dists_unstable_main_i18n_Translation-en:
Hash Sum mismatch
E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old
ones used instead.
E: Couldn't rebuild package cache
I removed all the entries from /var/lib/apt/lists/ except the partial
directory and deleted all the contents of partial as well so it looked
:-
But even after doing that I got the same result.
These are the contents of the /var/lib/apt/lists/partial after trying
from scratch :-
total 64M

This is my regular /etc/apt/sources.list :-
$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list
#### testing #########
deb http://debian.ec.as6453.net/debian/ testing main contrib non-free
deb http://debian.ec.as6453.net/debian/ testing-updates main contrib non-free

#### experimental #########
deb http://debian.ec.as6453.net/debian/ experimental main contrib
There are no changes in this and for quite sometime there hasn't been
an issue with the above URL.
As far as http://mirror.debian.org/status.html is concerned, the
mirror looks healthy. I do know that the mirror is around 6 hrs. later
than the one from any of the primary mirrors but that's a deliberate
effort on my part to make sure I don't get in some new binary which
can mess up the system. This hasn't happened for sometime now but one
never knows.
I have been trying for couple of hours without success, any idea or
suggestion is helpful.
I have shared the whole mail as an addition to #624122 but as the
discussion shows there doesn't seem to be anything specific of why the
hash sum mismatches occur.
I did go to http://debian.ec.as6453.net/debian/dists/sid/ and looked
at both InRelease and Release files and they seemed fine :-
$ head InRelease

Any idea/tip of where I should be looking for the culprit would be
most helpful.
