I tried to install Virtualmin today and it failes with the message below. This is on a clean Debian Lenny VM. Weird thing is that a few days ago it worked perfectly. I tried on another server and had the same error there.
I am a newby but this part sound suspicious:
W: Failed to fetch http://software.virtualmin.com/gpl/debian/dists/virtualmin-universal/main/binary-amd64/Packages.gz Hash Sum mismatch
Could it be that the package in the repository has a wrong hash value? Or is it just me doing something stupid?

debian:~# ./install.sh
Welcome to the Virtualmin GPL installer, version 1.0.3
WARNING:
The installation is quite stable and functional when run on a freshly
installed supported Operating System, but upgrades from existing .wbm-
based systems, or systems that already have Apache VirtualHost
directives or mail users, will very likely run into numerous problems.
Please read the Virtualmin Administrators Guide before proceeding if
your system is not a freshly installed and supported OS.
This script is not intended to update your system! It should only be
used to install Virtualmin, on a supported OS. If you have previously
installed Virtualmin via this script or the GPL version of this script,
upgrades and updates should be handled within Virtualmin itself. Once
Virtualmin is installed, you never need to run this script again.
The systems currently supported by install.sh are:
CentOS 4 and 5 on i386 and x86_64
Debian 4.0 and 5.0 on i386 and amd64
Ubuntu 8.04 LTS on i386 and amd64
If your OS is not listed above, this script will fail. More details
about the systems supported by the script can be found here:

Well, first off, you may want to disable the "debian.syscp.org" mirror. It seems to be generating a lot of errors, and certainly isn't helping :-)
Once you do that -- what I'd suggest doing is running "apt-get update", and then try running the install script again, and we'll see what happens from there.
-Eric
I'm getting this error too. It looks like the Release file at http://software.virtualmin.com/gpl/debian/dists/virtualmin-universal/ hasn't been updated to reflect the newly created Packages.* files in main/binary-i386/ and possibly others (haven't checked them).
Does that mean that I just have to patient until the repository is all right?
Sorry about that syscp mirror. I don't think it causes the problem though. Here are the result source from running the install script on a totally different clean dedicated server at Hetzner:

Jan Derk
I passed that info along to Joe to look into. He's been working on a new build system lately, and he says it's possible something there went awry.
That said -- do feel free to file a bug report so it's officially in the tracker :-)

Thanks Eric,
I filed it here:

Hi Eric,
Have you had any updates on when this might be fixed?
Cheers, Colin
When it will be fixed?
I hope soon, waiting since the 9th to install 2 new servers... :-(
Howdy,
The problem with the Debian repository was resolve a few weeks ago, as per this bug report:
