Upgrading from 16.04 to 16.10 (Hash Sum mismatch)

[oswald3]

:( I am trying to upgar my Ubuntu 16.04 to 16.10 and am getting the following error message

Failed to fetch
http://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/libr/libreoffice-dictionaries/myspell-en-za_5.2.1-2_all.deb
Hash Sum mismatch

I have uninstalled the Libre suite so am thinking it shouldn't be checking for any packages.

How can I get around this error ?

Removing all spell checkers that end with "za" seems solve the problem.

Can you advise how this is done ?

Sorry but I am a Ubuntu newbie - I know enough to break things :D

Can you advise how this is done ?...

Try using this command from a terminal..


sudo apt purge myspell-en-za

to reinstall it would be..


sudo apt install myspell-en-za
