Package: apt
Version: 0.7.14+b1
Severity: normal

Recently we get a lot of Hash Sum mismatch errors when doing apt-get update:

W: Failed to fetch 
http://ftp.at.debian.org/debian/dists/lenny/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz  Hash 
Sum 
mismatch

W: Failed to fetch 
http://ftp.at.debian.org/debian/dists/lenny/non-free/binary-i386/Packages.gz  
Hash 
Sum mismatch

E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones 
used instead.

This happens on various machines. They are all behind a squid, but we don't 
have any other issues
with the proxy, so I don't expect the problem to be there.

To fix it I have to rm /var/lib/apt/lists/* and redo the update. The problem 
gets worse with
aptitude, because that fails silently. See 
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=451137.

Maybe this bug is related to 
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=450510.
