Never happened to me so far, it seems i have an extraordinary amount of luck. :) The issue itself is not really a problem of APT but of the mirror (or your proxy, or or or), but lets ignore that for a minute: So, i wrote a testscript puzzled together from the information you provided in the three bugreports: The script is attached and can be placed in the source tree into test/integration for execution, but here is a commented run: First some boilerplate: I am creating a 'somepkg' v1 package in a fresh repository, clear var/lib/apt/lists just to be sure and run $ apt-get update Get:1 http://localhost unstable InRelease [3583 B] Get:2 http://localhost unstable/main Sources [438 B] Get:3 http://localhost unstable/main i386 Packages [375 B] Get:4 http://localhost unstable/main TranslationIndex [1504 B] Get:5 http://localhost unstable/main Translation-en [279 B] Fetched 6179 B in 0s (36.0 kB/s) As expected everything is fine. Now i am creating 'somepkg' v2 for the archive, update all indexes but the InRelease file and run again: $ apt-get update Reading package lists... Get:1 http://localhost unstable InRelease [3583 B] Get:2 http://localhost unstable/main Sources [672 B] Get:3 http://localhost unstable/main i386 Packages [551 B] Get:4 http://localhost unstable/main TranslationIndex [1504 B] Get:5 http://localhost unstable/main Translation-en [349 B] Fetched 6659 B in 0s (39.0 kB/s) W: Failed to fetch bzip2:/tmp/tmp.NO42yF6oSu/rootdir/var/lib/apt/lists/partial/localhost:8080_dists_unstable_main_source_Sources Hash Sum mismatch W: Failed to fetch bzip2:/tmp/tmp.NO42yF6oSu/rootdir/var/lib/apt/lists/partial/localhost:8080_dists_unstable_main_binary-i386_Packages Hash Sum mismatch E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead. Oh no, an error! But expected so far, as the InRelease file is outdated as it should to reproduce your bugreport. Now lets look into the var/lib/apt/lists directory: $ find var/lib/apt/lists rootdir/var/lib/apt/lists rootdir/var/lib/apt/lists/localhost:8080_dists_unstable_main_i18n_Translation-en rootdir/var/lib/apt/lists/localhost:8080_dists_unstable_main_i18n_Index rootdir/var/lib/apt/lists/localhost:8080_dists_unstable_InRelease rootdir/var/lib/apt/lists/localhost:8080_dists_unstable_main_binary-i386_Packages rootdir/var/lib/apt/lists/localhost:8080_dists_unstable_main_source_Sources rootdir/var/lib/apt/lists/partial rootdir/var/lib/apt/lists/partial/localhost:8080_dists_unstable_main_binary-i386_Packages.decomp.FAILED rootdir/var/lib/apt/lists/partial/localhost:8080_dists_unstable_main_source_Sources.decomp.FAILED rootdir/var/lib/apt/lists/partial/localhost:8080_dists_unstable_main_binary-i386_Packages rootdir/var/lib/apt/lists/partial/localhost:8080_dists_unstable_main_source_Sources Huh? Still the old files around in lists/ ? And especially no FAILED file outside of partial/ Lets check that: $ apt-cache policy somepkg somepkg: Installed: (none) Candidate: 1.0 Version table: 1.0 0 500 http://localhost/ unstable/main i386 Packages $ apt-cache show somepkg Package: somepkg Priority: optional Section: others Installed-Size: 16 Maintainer: Joe Sixpack <j...@example.org> Architecture: i386 Version: 1.0 Filename: pool/somepkg_1.0_i386.deb Size: 1230 MD5sum: 4e96f7fab53075a85d791fbdedc2d683 SHA1: cbdf42cd9a601132333670828143a9400b145ecc SHA256: e8bf9c163673cb9c7ad0079245830eadcf6e206100a78ba996c1bfde98decf89 Description-en: an autogenerated dummy somepkg=1.0/unstable If you find such a package installed on your system, YOU did something horribly wrong!

I currently don't see a way in the source for derivation as this message (in this context) is printed only at a single location in the code… Best regards David Kalnischkies
