Can't install any software. Says MD5 sum mismatch.
I just can't install anything on my Hoary now.
i am really stuck up.
I am following the Ubuntu Unofficial guide.
apt-get gives an error saying that the software can't be installed due to a MD5 sum mismatch.
This is what i get when trying to install a software.
