[Fink-users] apt-get failed to fetch ... size mismatch

Mon, 03 Jan 2005 13:45:09 -0800

I use our most powerful Mac to build packages I want from the unstable tree, and then have it provide them to the other Macs. That has worked very well until recently. I tried out xorg instead of Apple's X11 for a short period, and made the mistake of building some KDE stuff, so I could install khexedit on a PowerBook. I did an apt-get update to install the package on the PowerBook before I realized that I shouldn't have built it with xorg installed. I eventually ditch xorg, and went back to Apple's X11 on all Macs, and rebuilt packages as required to get everything working properly on the main Mac. But, subsequent attempts to upgrade the packages on my PowerBook fail as follows:

sudo apt-get -u dist-upgrade

E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?

I can't find any description in man apt-get, or Fink's site, or via Google on what the size mismatch means, so I have no clue on how to resolve it. I deleted various parts of apt-get's package cache on the PowerBook in order to get it to try to update kdelibs, but I'm not sure whether that action could be part of my problem.

I'd greatly appreciate any clues on how to get out of this mess.
