Bug Description

I am getting checksum mismatches on trusty-updates since this morning. It seems that the files were changed:

$ wget -O- -o /dev/null http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/trusty-updates/main/binary-amd64/ | sed -e 's/<[^>]*>/ /g'
 Index of /ubuntu/dists/trusty-updates/main/binary-amd64
       Name Last modified Size
      Parent Directory &nbsp; -
      Packages.bz2 28-May-2015 10:23 513K
      Packages.gz 28-May-2015 10:23 650K
      Release 28-May-2015 10:23 104

These are the expected MD5 hashes:

$ wget -o /dev/null -O- http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/trusty-updates/Release | egrep main/binary-amd64/Packages.'(gz|bz2)' | head -2
 2684076da64123b17dd4370f381444a1 665944 main/binary-amd64/Packages.gz
 db2bb58fc4545ae77d0ad0850d3d07d0 525354 main/binary-amd64/Packages.bz2

Packages.gz appears to be wrong:

$ wget -o /dev/null -O- http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/trusty-updates/main/binary-amd64/Packages.gz | md5sum
407e592770cac05d3e27e7ae4425f0aa -

But Packages.bz2 is correct:

$ wget -o /dev/null -O- http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/trusty-updates/main/binary-amd64/Packages.bz2 | md5sum
db2bb58fc4545ae77d0ad0850d3d07d0 -

Users may not be noticing because most of them are using bz2 compression, but MAAS fails on maas-import-pxe-files.

The difference appears to be in the Phased-Update-Percentage values:

@@ -74527,7 +74527,7 @@

with the Bz2 file having 30% versus Gz having 10%, so this looks like an incomplete file update/regeneration.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. It seems that your bug report is not filed about a specific source package though, rather it is just filed against Ubuntu in general. It is important that bug reports be filed about source packages so that people interested in the package can find the bugs about it. You can find some hints about determining what package your bug might be about at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/FindRightPackage. You might also ask for help in the #ubuntu-bugs irc channel on Freenode.

To change the source package that this bug is filed about visit https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1459618/+editstatus and add the package name in the text box next to the word Package.
