Hang on, please disregard this part of my post, the mirror is up-to-date, but I was comparing with the old version of the deb file I last successfully downloaded. Stupid! The fact remains that (presumable all 600Meg) files downloaded directly from this mirror were corrupt, according to apt-get. Hmmm. My /var/cache/apt/archives has only 124Meg failed uploads, I wonder where the rest went. Anyway, the correct results for my test are: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# md5sum /var/cache/apt/archives/partial/libc6_2.3.2.ds1-22_powerpc.deb.FAILED 17a6aff5f72df60d303fbce0258d2962 /var/cache/apt/archives/partial/libc6_2.3.2.ds1-22_powerpc.deb.FAILED [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# apt-cache show libc6 | grep '^Size' Size: 4231786 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# apt-cache show libc6 | grep MD5sum MD5sum: ab0895ee6d8d2cf3b6906eb5228e5c25 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4231786 May 12 12:47 /var/cache/apt/archives/partial/libc6_2.3.2.ds1-22_powerpc.deb.FAILED Which md5sum is right? The file size is correct. Hmmm, The archive looks broken: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# dpkg -c /var/cache/apt/archives/partial/libc6_2.3.2.ds1-22_powerpc.deb.FAILED drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2005-05-11 08:53:05 ./ drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2005-05-11 08:52:49 ./sys/ drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2005-05-11 08:53:31 ./lib/ -rwxr-xr-x root/root 94420 2005-05-11 08:53:11 ./lib/ld-2.3.2.so -rw-r--r-- root/root 11384 2005-05-11 08:53:11 ./lib/libanl-2.3.2.so [...] -rw-r--r-- root/root 84720 2005-05-11 08:53:16 ./usr/lib/gconv/BIG5.so -rw-r--r-- root/root 222144 2005-05-11 08:53:16 ./usr/lib/gconv/BIG5HKSCS.so tar: Read 2308 bytes from - tar: Unexpected EOF in archive tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now dpkg-deb: subprocess tar returned error exit status 2 So the file sizes all look correct, but the files are corrupt.
