md5 sum mismatches

[ubuntu_demon]

just to inform you guys about md5 sum mismatches on these packages from us.archive.ubuntu.com :

icewm-common
libcairo (needed for the firefox backport)

Let's post all those mismatches in this thread.

I think we just have to wait a bit.

automake1.4
indent

You can add iptraf and nmap to that list too.

The 'us.archive.ubuntu.com' mirrors are acting flaky this weekend. Replace each instance of them in your /etc/apt/sources.list with the 'archive.ubuntu.com' prefix instead. Then do an 'apt-get update' session and you should be back on track.


I think those who are from the us should put the "us part" back in after this is fixed

You are using US.archive.ubuntu. Edit your sources.list and remove the us from the http !

[RadixLecti]

This got me thinking.. what archives are there?
Which would be the closest to use for a person living in Sweden?

[Fexx]

doesnt work. I have removed the .us part but still tries to get from the .us. even tho its removed in the source apt file and also did the sudo apt-get update.

[Fexx]

Trying to update firefox.. have to use the smart feature for it. since it does a remove of mozillia-firefox and installs firefox.

http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/libc/libcairo/libcairo1_0.3.0-1_i386.deb seems like a needed file.

Any offical news on the this md5 mismatch problems?

[psychicdragon]

I got a md5sum mismatch for
psutils 1.17-17

[jfdill_2]

I just got one for dpkg-dev from US mirror, entered it into bugzilla for dpkg-dev not sure if that was the right place.

Taking the "us" out of the entry for main in sources.list worked for me:

diff -r1.2 sources.list
3c3
< deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hoary main restricted
---
> deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hoary main restricted

Don't forget to do:

apt-get update

I've got an md5sum mismatch for libvcdinfo and links
