As this seems to affect mostly users of the de. mirror I subscribed the owner of that mirror to this bug (hope this is the right way to go about it). Changing to the German NetCologne mirror fixed this issue for me for now. It was an ongoing problem with several Trusty servers for several month.

Release: Description: Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS Release: 14.04 2. not a package. The whole distro is broken. 3. I always expect apt-get update to work, at least with Ubuntu's own repositories. 4. "apt-get update" failed, and later "apt-get dist upgrade" It started with this when doing a normal "apt-get update" W: Failed to fetch http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/trusty- updates/main/source/Sources Hash Sum mismatch W: Failed to fetch http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/trusty- updates/main/binary-amd64/Packages Hash Sum mismatch W: Failed to fetch http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/trusty- updates/universe/binary-i386/Packages Hash Sum mismatch E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead. When doing a dist-upgrade, I then got this: E: mkinitramfs failure cpio 141 gzip 1 update-initramfs: failed for /boot/initrd.img-3.13.0-36-generic with 1. run-parts: /etc/kernel/postinst.d/initramfs-tools exited with return code 1 Failed to process /etc/kernel/postinst.d at /var/lib/dpkg/info/linux-image-extra-3.13.0-36-generic.postinst line 1025.
