Do packages report incorrect size / checksum after download? Or do you get a 404 response? Or something else? Lately, I've been seeing more often that probably due to a malfunctioning transparent proxy somewhere at the provider, I'm getting corrupted and apt lists or damaged packages. And I have to download them repeatedly and repeatedly and... For such cases, it usually helps me to set up apt to know that the broken proxy is in the way: Acquire::http::Pipeline-Depth "0"; Acquire::http::No-Cache=True; Acquire::BrokenProxy=true; Cheers -- Slávek
