Repository debian/dists/virtualmin-universal/ broken ? Hash sum errors

Howdy,

We were seeing that error yesterday with some of the other repos, and Joe got that corrected with them.

Just to make sure this issue still remains in Debian 6 -- could you try running this command:

apt-get clean

And then after that, try running this:

apt-get update

Do you see any errors while doing that?

-Eric

Howdy,

Hmm, I haven't been able to reproduce that, but I wonder if you're seeing an issue specific to the i386 repository.

I'll do some more research into that.

-Eric

I'm still getting the same issue installing fresh on an amd64 Debian Squeeze:

Is it that the problem is fixed and I'm doing something wrong, or should I keep waiting?

I think there may be an issue when using Debian 6 -- we're looking further into this.

Thanks, for what it's worth I've just tried simply wgetting those packages, and most are fine though at least usermin-virtual-server-theme_6.8_all.deb is actually corrupt:

One of you guys that's having this problem -- do you think that I could log into your server in order to troubleshoot it?

If that's okay, could you either open up a support request, mark it as private, and include login details to your system there -- or you could email them to me at eric@virtualmin.com?

So far I haven't been able to reproduce that problem, or an issue with the .deb files, so seeing the issue first hand would help us sort out what's going on.

Thanks!

-Eric

Hi all I had the same issue as described above. As it is time to upgrade anyway, I changed my sources.list to wheezy. apt-get dist-upgrade after apt-get update showed the same problem. I was able to resolve it by upgrading apt and its dependencies first (apt-get install apt). After that I did an apt-get clean and removed the repo files in /var/lib/apt/lists/, did a new apt-get update and then the apt-get dist-upgrade went through without complaint. Beat

Howdy,

After seeing this issue persist on an existing test installation provided by a kind Virtualmin user -- I performed a fresh installation of Debian 6, and I wasn't able to reproduce this problem.

So it appears that it can work well with Debian 6, but there also seem to be some set of conditions which cause this problem.

Those of you still seeing it -- you aren't by chance all using the same provider, are you? If you're using a VPS or dedicated server provider, which provider is it?

However, I'm also curious if it helps to run a "apt-get clean", and then trying the package upgrades again.

That did not work in the test install I was looking at, but I'm curious if that helps for anyone else.

It's also possible that using freebeat's idea of removing the repo files, and then regenerating them, would work while remaining on Debian 6.

-Eric

Nothing works

You guys who are seeing the problem, are you using a dedicated server, or a VPS?

And what provider are you using?

Also, did you perform the Debian install yourself, or was it based on a provider's image?

-Eric

I run instance (vps) on Linode. Udes linode image to install, but it was years ago, and before it usually upgraded well.

I used the Swiss mirrors, probably something like this: deb http://mirror.switch.ch/ftp/mirror/debian/ squeeze main deb-src http://mirror.switch.ch/ftp/mirror/debian/ squeeze main deb http://security.debian.org/ squeeze/updates main deb-src http://security.debian.org/ squeeze/updates main deb http://software.virtualmin.com/gpl/debian/ virtualmin-squeeze main deb http://software.virtualmin.com/gpl/debian/ virtualmin-universal main

IMHO the problem is most likely related to apt trying to use the wrong checksum to verify the origin of the packages. Or that not all of the provided checksums work (md5, sha1 or sha256). As I wrote before, I think ugrading debian is the way forward.

We think we see what's causing this issue -- it's proven tricky to fix though. I just wanted to follow up to say we haven't forgotten about it, and Joe is working on this :-)

-ERic

For me worked to add alternative repository - apt-get update then upgrade, but at the last I was download the Webmin deb package at http://www.webmin.com/download.html directly with wget and install it.

Then may be do update upgrade again

Everything was fixed!

When installing virtualmin on debian testing(stretch) this error occurs again:

I've checked the checksums manually, only sha512 checksum matches.

P.S. installation on debian stable(jessie) completes fine.

ESXi Ubuntu 16.04

Hi,

Debian 8.3 x32:

W: Failed to fetch http://software.virtualmin.com/gpl/debian/dists/virtualmin-universal/Rel... Unable to find expected entry 'main/binary-i386/Packages' in Release file (Wrong sources.list entry or malformed file)

Thanks -- we thought we finally had the issue fixed. But apparently something else was broken in the process!

It looks like 64 bit is good to go ATM, but I'll have Joe look into the 32 bit stuff. Sorry about that!

-Eric

I'm trying to install cloudmin on Ubuntu 16.04 64 bits, I still get sum mismatch too: (I know it's not virtualmin but it's while trying to get virtualmin packages)

As of this morning, I am unable to run apt-get update. It doesn't specifically say "hash sum error" but it seems as though a related repository as the one discussed in this topic is moved or corrupted:

The update process ended right there without the usual summary of files updated/remain/etc. It looks like it aborted. Also, for the last couple of weeks the update hangs for a looooong time at a couple of points, and as it sits there, the last thing printed on the right side of the line is an IPV6 address. Until that started happening, updating was always very quick without significant pauses. This also suggests a problem with the repository resource, or at least my ability to access it here.

I'm very sorry, I've asked Joe just now to speed up the fix on this one :-)

In a pinch, you could always temporarily comment out the Virtualmin repo. It'll be back up and running soon though!

-Eric

Okay, Joe has redone all the metadata for the repositories -- can you guys try again?

Thanks!

-Eric

Still get the issue when I try to install cloudmin, hash sum missmatch on webmin-server-manager and webmin-virtual-server-theme.

I get this:
