Interestingly, I've been getting exactly the same symptom (and various other file content failures and connection failures) for a couple of weeks, on our two Woody systems inside our company network behind a proxy firewall. But I think I've just fixed it all (today) by setting : acquire::http::queue-depth="0" in apt.conf - certainly I had no failures after making this change. I may be wrong about the parameter being called "queue-depth" - I'm not at a Woody system at the moment - but check out the apt.conf man page, where reference is made to this setting being required if your HTTP proxy doesn't handle idling a connection properly (or something like that) - with data corruption being the result otherwise. Are you guys behind a proxy firewall ? Sorry if this is off-track. Nick Boyce Bristol, UK -- There is no spoon.
