Ive done it after 2 weeks and I dont know how many hours !! As far as I understand it ....
apt-get update loads files into /var/lib/dpkg/info about the packages and the md5 sums for those packages. I got a corrupted download, the md5 sums were never going to match. I hashed out debian.security..... in sources.list apt-get update I deleted the hashes for debian.security..... in sources.list apt-get update forcing a fresh /var/lib/dpkg/info download then apt-get upgrade --fix-missing worked AOK, even though the line dropped twice Yeeeaaaaar!
