Since two weeks ago "apt-get update" fails with "Hash Sum mismatch"
every second time the package-lists change. This is a typical output:

E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
E: Couldn't rebuild package cache
This happens not only for http.debian.net but for each of the couple
of other mirrors I tried. Wait and try again does not help. A
temporary solution is to delete the package lists in
/var/lib/apt/lists, which allows to update the package lists until the
next change. A permament solution is "Acquire::PDiffs "false";" . So it
seems that the PDiff-mechanism is broken.
I run debian testing/unstable. The apt version is 0.9.15.1.
