When I try to install DOSBox using synaptic it gives me this error:

Some of the packages could not be retrieved from the server(s).
Do you want to continue, ignoring these packages?

After clicking No, the next message is:

The following problems were found on your system:
W: Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/d/dosbox/dosbox_0.63-2_i386.deb
MD5Sum doesn't match

So for some reason the MD5Sum is wrong. Is there something wrong
with the package or would it be safe to install it if I could get synaptic
to do it? Or should I just get the Debian Woody package from here (http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/download.php?main=1)?

the us server seems to be broken right now, open your sources.list file with

sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

Then, in all places change us.archive.ubuntu.com to archive.ubuntu.com
