bad security update

[Yogi Savetman]

Security update for Ubuntu 7.10, on 19 Nov 2008 consists of 6 files.

Three files do not load properly or install with Update Manager. These are hpijs, hplip and hplip-data.

The diagnostic is "size mismatch"

One of these is

security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/h/hplip/-data_2.77.dfsg.1-0ubuntu5-1_all.deb

I have tried loading a number of times. The load always slows down nearing the end and indicates "Size Mismatch".

Please do not hesitate to write if you need further info. Thanks!

It looks like a difference between the declared size (7639kB) and real (7640kB)

Same problem here. What is the workaround?
