Interesting, do you have list cleanup disabled?
APT::Get::List-Cleanup is the option.

pdiff-client-side merging is new code and the acquire system enabling it
is fresh out of the press, too, so its likely that we have broken
certain non-default cases by accident.

I have a patch for fixing up the list-cleanup option, so if that is your
problem consider it solved with the next upload. If its not, I will need
a heck of a lot more details. Best would be to start a new bugreport…
Still, most of the time those issues are "just" temporary problems
created by a currently running sync on the mirror.


This bug here is very "meta" in a sense that there are a bunch of cases
which can result in a hashsum mismatch and only very few are the fault
of apt and without a reasonable amount of info hard to reproduce (if at
all possible). One day, I will have the mental strength to close it…
