Do you use a http proxy? I have had my proxy get out of sync and end up caching a bad Packages file, so every time it downloaded it the proxy gave me the wrong one and I got messages that the checksum on the downloaded package was wrong when in fact the package was right but Packages.gz was corrupt. Forcing the proxy to refresh the file solved the problem (as did turning of the use of the proxy temporarily). -- Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
