[Bug 261022] Re: "apt-get update" failure: hash sum mismatch

 

Same problem with my  8.10 version but only after the last automatic update : before everything was fine .
now  I get :

Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/intrepid-security/Release  Unable to find expected entry  multiverseAudio/source/Sources in Meta-index file (malformed Release file?)
Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
