In Gutsy, may be after apt package update, apt-mirror still working but "apt-get update" return error :

I suspect that this problem came from new apt version :
apt (0.7.6ubuntu1) gutsy; urgency=low

...

  * merged apt--sha256 branch to fully support the new
    sha256 checksums in the Packages and Release files
    (ABI break)

Hi,

I believe this bug should be assigned to "apt" instead of "apt-mirror".

[laga (laga)]

FYI, I have experimented a similar problem, although just with some repositories.

Using "aptitude update" instead of "apt-get update" works for me.

[Ned (nedwilliamson)]

I also have this problem with apt-get, but only with one repository.
"Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/gutsy/multiverse/binary-i386/Packages.bz2 Hash Sum mismatch"
I also do not encounter this problem using aptitude.

[jeroenl (jeroenl)]

The aptitude workaround worked, but after that it is still not posible to install packages from multiverse

[jeroenl (jeroenl)]

I also can't install any multiverse (e.h. mplayer) with aptitude, so for me it seems aptitude doesn't give the error message, but doesn't work also

[Ned (nedwilliamson)]

The bug is that apt-mirror doesn't support the new checksums.

[Ned (nedwilliamson)]

Apt-mirror needs to be patched/updated to support the new hash/checksums.

[jeroenl (jeroenl)]

Today the problem went away. So it seems to be resolved.

@jeroenvrp : we do not talk about the same bug.
I talk about using a mirror made with apt-mirror. Your problem is for official repository that have effectively been resolved.

[David Tremblay (david-tremblay)]

I also have this issue but only for universe though

[David Tremblay (david-tremblay)]

Sorry wrong bug, as for the fix for my problem just moving away from the japanese mirror to the official one, erase the issue

[Brandon Holtsclaw (imbrandon)]

i have not experinced this problem, is it still happening ?

[Pik Master (pikmaster)]

I get this problem but not when I do `apt-get update` but trying to install specific packages, (eg. "dialog" package, result below). First I was using my local (Polish) ubuntu mirrors and all the packages had corrupted hashes. When I switched to main repository, only some of the packages get this error.

$ sudo apt-get install dialog

[Brandon Holtsclaw (imbrandon)]

this dosent seem to be a problem with apt-mirror, it seems to be an issue with the particular you are updating from, marking as invalid

[jeroenl (jeroenl)]

This bug is already resolved. It was valid during the days it was submitted. Unfortunately we still can't delete/hide a bug.
