Bug#364272: apt: recent difficxulty in updateing, "Remote end closed connection" and MD5 sum errors
Package: apt
Version: 0.6.43.3
Severity: normal
Hi,
I've been trying to get my system to reliably perform an apt-get update
and upgrade for the last three or four weeks. Symptoms seem to be that
it'll get to the last few K of a file, and then time out, the server
closes the connection or there's a checksum error.
I've tried downgrading to the apt in stable, but the synmptoms are the
same.
Is there anything I can try to sort this out?
Cheers,
Eamonn
