summary: updating R .deb's from recommended mirrors @ http://cran.r-project.org/mirrors.html
has allowed me to keep my R version up-to-date for many months. But since Friday (25 Jan) I get errors like Failed to fetch <mirror URI/>/squeeze-cran/<deb name/>: Hash Sum mismatch but can install .deb's from non-CRAN sources. No fix from sudo rm /var/cache/apt/pkgcache.bin sudo rm /var/cache/apt/srcpkgcache.bin sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/* sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/partial/* and either sudo aptitude update or sudo apt-get update details: http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2013/01/msg00995.html > I'm getting > > E: Failed to fetch > > http://lib.stat.cmu.edu/R/CRAN/bin/linux/debian/squeeze-cran/r-base-core_2.15.2-1~squeezecran.0_amd64.deb: > > Hash Sum mismatch > So I changed my sources.list > - deb http://lib.stat.cmu.edu/R/CRAN/bin/linux/debian squeeze-cran/ > + deb http://watson.nci.nih.gov/cran_mirror/bin/linux/debian squeeze-cran/ > did `sudo aptitude update`, and got > > W: Failed to fetch > > bzip2:/var/lib/apt/lists/partial/watson.nci.nih.gov_cran%5fmirror_bin_linux_debian_squeeze-cran_Packages: > > Hash Sum mismatch > So I changed my sources.list > - deb http://lib.stat.cmu.edu/R/CRAN/bin/linux/debian squeeze-cran/ > - deb http://watson.nci.nih.gov/cran_mirror/bin/linux/debian squeeze-cran/ > + deb http://mirrors.nics.utk.edu/cran/bin/linux/debian squeeze-cran/ > did `sudo aptitude update`, and got > > W: Failed to fetch > > bzip2:/var/lib/apt/lists/partial/mirrors.nics.utk.edu_cran_bin_linux_debian_squeeze-cran_Packages: > > Hash Sum mismatch Note that * I'm only using mirror hosts from http://cran.r-project.org/mirrors.html * I'm only having problems getting/installing .deb's from CRAN: all other debian packages install normally I got suggestions to try removing/recreating /var/cache/apt/pkgcache.bin /var/cache/apt/srcpkgcache.bin /var/lib/apt/lists/* /var/lib/apt/lists/partial/* but no fix: me@it:~ $ sudo rm /var/cache/apt/pkgcache.bin /var/cache/apt/srcpkgcache.bin /var/lib/apt/lists/partial/* /var/lib/apt/lists/* ; sudo aptitude update ...
