Hi, I am hereby closing #624122 and its merges as it was never tracking a specific issue, but catched all mails from users which encountered an error involving the words "Hash Sum mismatch". Over the years we have dealt with at least three different bugs in here which would have been better if they would have been in new fresh bugs rather than expanding on an existing but ultimatively unrelated bug – not counting the initial "bug" of having repository updates not being atomic, but over the last 6 years a lot has improved on that front as well. deity, ftpmasters, mirror and other teams have worked on whats dubbed "by-hash" for years, which resulted in various smaller and bigger improvements rolled out either universially by now and/or will be included in the stretch release (depending on if server, client or both need to support something). That work seems to pay off as (ignoring spam) this bug class was pretty silent in the last few months – and if someone wants to talk about it the reporter will be better of starting with a new bug as going through the buglog of a 6years and counting open bugreport intermixed with unrelated messages and spam is kinda daunting… In other words: It has taken 3 years, but now is the day I was talking about: "One day, I will have the mental strength to close it…". Triggered by koike on IRC btw who were asking about the 1y old "will eventually be a different message for this" (talking about weak hashes) which we have figured out was resolved a few months later. Thanks to all reporters and to everyone working on these issues! Best regards David KalnischkiesAttachment: signature.asc
