apt-get update MD5Sum mismatch (volatile)

#1 Post by Coax »

Hi,

got a very weird problem with a Debian Etch box. Got volatile sources for clam configured like this:

Code: Select all

deb http://volatile.debian.net/debian-volatile etch/volatile main 
deb http://volatile.debian.net/debian-volatile etch/volatile-sloppy main contrib non-free 
Now if I run apt-get update, I get this:

Code: Select all

[snip]
Failed to fetch http://volatile.debian.net/debian-volatile/dists/etch/volatile/main/binary-i386/Packages.bz2  MD5Sum mismatch
Reading package lists... Done
W: Couldn't stat source package list http://volatile.debian.net etch/volatile/main Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/volatile.debian.net_debian-volatile_dists_etch_volatile_main_binary-i386_Packages) - stat (2 No such file or directory)
W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems
E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
I've tried removing and re-adding the volatile sources, but it doesn't seem to help. Any chance that the MD5sum it got somewhere is wrong?

Another clue might be GPG errors from the cron-apt log, which is next on my list of things to fix:

Code: Select all

[snip]
Reading package lists...
W: GPG error: http://volatile.debian.net etch/volatile Release: The following signatures were invalid: BADSIG EC61E0B0BBE55AB3 Debian-Volatile Archive Automatic Signing Key (4.0/etch)
W: GPG error: http://volatile.debian.net etch/volatile-sloppy Release: The following signatures were invalid: BADSIG EC61E0B0BBE55AB3 Debian-Volatile Archive Automatic Signing Key (4.0/etch)
W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems
[snip]
Thanks in advance.
