Package: aptitude
Version: 0.2.15.9-2
Followup-For: Bug #174090

I've encountered the same problem today with the mirror at

  http://mirrors.sunsite.dk/debian

The problem is that you do not get an error message when the md5sum
check fails. I tried both the UI and from the command line, and in
both cases aptitude stopped installing the packages after having
downloaded the necessary files. The program behaves as if everything
is fine, but it never gets to the configuration and actual
installation part. I finally discovered that something was wrong with
the mirror when I tried apt-get instead.

I think you can reproduce the problem by setting up a fake repository
with incorrect md5sums.
