aptitude and apt-get update results in "Hash Sum mismatch"
 

Using Debian Jessie 32 bit and Wheezy 32 bit on 2 separate computers.

For the pass few days, received the following message on both computers when doing a
aptitude update or apt-get update results in the following error message:

Googled and tried removing /var/lib/apt/apt and /var/lib/apt/aptitude but the problem persist.

Any advise is appreciated.

Can you post your sources.list for both computers & if 1 is used as proxy indicate which 1.

@ Head_on_a_Stick
returns the same error message


# EDDY1

That's your sources.list for both machines?

Updated :

Are you using 1 as a proxy for the other or are they connected directly to internet?

Have tried a couple of different proxies, including taiwan, german, etc.
All the same result.


Anyway, the error message is from security, which is using the default proxy.

When I say proxy are both machines connected directly to internet or is 1 machine getting internet access from the other?

Nope, two machines are located in different locations, a couple of km/miles apart.

Do you think that you have the problem because you're using 2 different mirrors & 1 is slower to update? In other words riken may not be at the same level of updates as debian.org & you're getting security updates from debian.org

Have tried more then 5 different mirrors, across the globe, even with the redirector. Same error.

Only problem is security does not have a mirror, so it stays the same throughout.
