[Bug 1373598] Re: apt-get update fails, hash sum mismatches (trusty)

 

As this seems to affect mostly users of the de. mirror I subscribed the owner of that mirror to this bug (hope this is the right way to go about it).
Changing to the German NetCologne mirror fixed this issue for me for now. It was an ongoing problem with several Trusty servers for several month.

Title:
  apt-get update fails, hash sum mismatches (trusty)

Status in apt package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in ubuntu-release-upgrader package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  1. Release: 
  Description:	Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS
  Release:	14.04

  2.  not a package. The whole distro is broken.

  3. I always expect apt-get update to work, at least with Ubuntu's own
  repositories.

  4. "apt-get update" failed, and later "apt-get dist upgrade"

  
  It started with this when doing a normal "apt-get update"

  W: Failed to fetch http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/trusty-
  updates/main/source/Sources  Hash Sum mismatch

  W: Failed to fetch http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/trusty-
  updates/main/binary-amd64/Packages  Hash Sum mismatch

  W: Failed to fetch http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/trusty-
  updates/universe/binary-i386/Packages  Hash Sum mismatch

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

  
  When doing a dist-upgrade, I then got this:
  E: mkinitramfs failure cpio 141 gzip 1
  update-initramfs: failed for /boot/initrd.img-3.13.0-36-generic with 1.
