Hi,
We've had a couple of reports of apt-cacher problems and have also
reproduced this. They look like this:
W: Failed to fetch
http://apt-cacher.lon.bitfolk.com/debian/security.debian.org/dists/squeeze/…
Hash Sum mismatch
upon an apt-get update.
I'm still investigating as to whether this is a problem with
apt-cacher or the source mirrors, but disabling use of apt-cacher
does allow it to work for now.
So if you are desperate to do an update, you can remove the
"apt-cacher.lon.bitfolk.com/debian/" text from each URL and it
should work.
Cheers,
Andy

So..

Given that apt-cacher is clearly serving the same file that is on
the source mirror, I'm confused as to where the problem is. But the
problem does seem to go away if you don't use the apt-cacher.
Anyone got any ideas?
Cheers,
Andy

/var/lib/apt/lists/*secur*wheez*
00:58:15 <@grifferz> blop, agreed, sudo find /var/lib/apt/lists -type f -delete
&& sudo apt-get update
Probably works without apt-cacher then because the files in
/var/lib/apt/lists/ are by URL and apt-cacher has a different URL.
So, going back to a host that doesn't work:
$ sudo apt-get update
.

Presumably if I delete some or all of these:
$ ls /var/lib/apt/lists/*apt-cacher*security*squeeze*updates*

/var/lib/apt/lists/apt-cacher.lon.bitfolk.com_debian_security.debian.org_dists_squeeze_updates_Release.gpg
then it's going to start working. Anyone got any ideas how to prove
which of these files is broken, for when this happens next time?
Cheers,
Andy

I think I would suspect a mirroring problem at Debian rather than a
problem with the apt-cacher.
Cheers,
Andy

For those only on the announce list, this post contains a fix:
http://lists.bitfolk.com/lurker/message/20130617.001028.2590cbc9.en.html
Basically, delete the Release files out of /var/lib/apt/lists for
the problem archives and run apt-get update again.
I don't believe this was a problem with apt-cacher. I suspect that
broken files were at some point on the source mirrors and apt-get
doesn't request them again if it already has them.
Cheers,
Andy
