(I can't even try reproducing this as I'm i386 and he's amd64.) I keep thinking I will have time to give this a proper answer. Basically that would require manually walking through downloading each of the Packages and Release files in the archive and verifying signatures and file checksums. The tool is complaining about a mismatch. At some point doing all of that manually should reproduce the same mismatch. When I have needed to do that before (behind corporate caching proxies) I always found that the caching proxy was returning stale files. That is about the only hint I can provide at this time.

There are reports that it sometimes does not select the best mirror. It might not detect that a mirror has gone out of sync fast enough and leave a time when it would still be redirecting to a bad mirror. It can't be perfect. However none of the other strategies such as the ftp.XX.debian.org country code alias set are perfect either. I have had to report mirrors in the US set being stuck. But both schemes seem to be working pretty well. That is why think of it as a try it out policy. Try it. If it works then great.

Ok, you want to upgrade our amd64 laptop to Jessie but this 'Hash Sum mismatch' doesn't appear to be amenable to the usual treatment such as changing mirror, deleting /var/lib/apt/lists/ or waiting for the problem to sort itself out etc, etc. You could try bypassing the 'apt-get update' step and upgrading from there. 1. Have deb http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian jessie main as the only line in sources.list. 2. Delete files in /var/lib/apt/lists and the subdirectory partial. 3. cd /var/lib/apt/lists 4.

Check the result of these steps for a package you know you have on the system. apt-cache show aptitude | less 7. Upgrade to Jessie with 'apt-get upgrade' and apt-get 'dist-upgrade'. An alternative open to you would be to update on laptop2 and copy the three files over. Not being able to reproduce your problem I don't know how well this will work for you.

So it would appear to me that your machine is downloading the .xz file from http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian/dists/jessie/main/binary-amd64/ but treating it as a .gz file which will make it fail. I don't know where this decision is made. (I also don't know where the decision is made by wget as to which Packages file to download, the .gz or the .xz one.) My wheezy apt-cacher-ng had a similar problem with serving the jessie tree. Because a file arrived in .xz format and failed to decompress, it could never get as far as pruning the jessie pool cache which grew and grew. It was fixed by installing the wheezy-backport version.

And I may get round to doing so. But it wasn't offered during the installation - and one has to choose a mirror before it will move on. I think for Stretch they should just use the redir and not offer the others. It causes a delay in the installation while it waits for the answer. (Not much, I hasten to add. The whole installation before I added a DE took 15 minutes.) Lisi -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

aptitude update errors for upgrade to Jessie on amd64
hi everybody, I tried to upgrade my amd64 laptop to jessie, and still have the same problem already reported 1 month ago.
