Bug#451137: aptitude update succeeds despite md5sum mismatches
Hi, I can confirm this with aptitude 0.4.11.4-1. Packages.bz2 was somehow broken in the proxy cache and apt-get update shows: W: Failed to fetch http://ftp.at.debian.org/debian/dists/lenny/main/binary-i386/Packages.bz2 Hash Sum mismatch Aptitude doesn't show any error message on update. So with aptitude alone, there's no way to find out what the problem is, one needs apt-get for that. Regards, harry signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Bug#451137: aptitude update succeeds despite md5sum mismatches
Package: aptitude Version: 0.4.6.1-1.1 Severity: important Currently, there is a problem with ftp.uk.debian.org lenny main, or the files cached from there by apt-cacher, such that the MD5 checksum of the packages and sources lists do not match those in the release file. apt-get update reports the mismatches and exits with code 100, but aptitude update succeeds, reporting no errors and exiting with code 0. This can affect automated update upgrade: * it is unreliable if you're using (mostly) testing and have deb lines for unstable (solution: -y -d safe-upgrade, then review and upgrade at leisure); * some ISPs' ADSL offerings have low download caps (quite likely because of profit margins and per-megabyte charges by the telecoms supplier), making large downloads something to do sparingly. -- | Darren Salt| linux or ds at | nr.
