Bug#624122: hash sum mismatch
Hi all,
An update.
10 hrs. after reporting the above bug, in an aptitude update run, the
error/bug was not there anymore.
So clearly, the bug was not from my side but from the repo./mirror
side but as there is contact address of the mirror (or doesn't seem to
be) don't have any ideas what did they fix (if anything) or if it's
one of those bugs which comes and goes with no idea what causes it.
For the record, when yesterday (or the day before) when I was getting
the errors, I did go to the mirror and checked out the Release and
InRelease files by downloading them from the mirror and catting the
output. This is/was the result :-
$ head InRelease

MD5Sum:
At least from the time-stamp they seem to be proper at the time I
downloaded (I did take into account the fact that there may be few
hrs. or at the most a day diff. between me and the mirror for
geographical locations and the mirror itself running 6 hrs. behind the
latest dinstall on the main mirror) as can be seen/guessed from
http://mirror.debian.org/status.html
