Bug#533308: apt: Packages.gz Hash Sum mismatch
Package: apt
Version: 0.7.21
Severity: important
I'm unable to update from unstable via "apt-get update". I get:
W: Failed to fetch http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/unstable/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz Hash Sum mismatch
This is highly inconvenient because I can no longer rely on apt-get to keep
up-to-date with unstable packages. I need to manually download the .deb and
follow all the dependencies, then install each .deb with dpkg.
I tried clearing /var/lib/apt/lists just in case, but to no avail.
I have a direct HTTP connection, no proxy nor caching.
When switching to "testing", I do not have the same problem but my machine
is configured to use "unstable" packages.
