That's nice to know. Please, the next time you ask for help on a Debian mailing list, mention from the beginning that you are using a derivative (Linux Mint). > 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.

Get:4 http://mirrors.nics.utk.edu squeeze-cran/ Release.gpg [198 B] Ign http://mirrors.nics.utk.edu/cran/bin/linux/debian/ squeeze-cran/ Translation-de Ign http://mirrors.nics.utk.edu/cran/bin/linux/debian/ squeeze-cran/ Translation-en Get:5 http://mirrors.nics.utk.edu squeeze-cran/ Release [3651 B] Get:6 http://mirrors.nics.utk.edu squeeze-cran/ Packages [16.9 kB] Fetched 392 kB in 1s (206 kB/s) so the problem may be an incomplete upgrade at your end (just guessing, based on the thread on debian-user). Maybe try removing the CRAN sources, complete the upgrade, and try again. However, please bear in mind that you are using a repository for Debian squeeze, and I have no idea in what way the Linux Mint release you are using deviates from Debian stable.
