I've tried several times in the last few days without success, also tried the tricks I found to get over hash sum errors.
Tried with both Jaunty and Karmic sources, same result. This is the line in sources.list:
deb http://
Tested on a clean install of jaunty (from old-releases) and natty: unreproducible in both cases. I suspect it to be an artifact of the modifications to Ubuntu made in the default SmartQ images. Jaunty and Karmic are now both unsupported (and unsupportable, in the sense that we can't upload changes thereto), and the SmartQ 5 and SmartQ 7 devices cannot run more recent releases (due to the SoC used in the devices), making this unfixable for the reported environment, and unreproducible in more recent environments. Note that the freepats package is currently unchanged in Ubuntu since before Ubuntu supported any ARM processors, and, as Architecture: all, would be uninstallable in many more environments if the data were corrupt in some manner.
