Just as an aside, I don't remember putting square brackets "[" and "]" around the url. I consider it unethical/bad practice to alter the quoted text but make it look like that is what they wrote. > > rm /var/cache/apt/pkgcache.bin > > rm /var/cache/apt/srcpkgcache.bin > > alas, no fix: > > $ sudo rm /var/cache/apt/pkgcache.bin /var/cache/apt/srcpkgcache.bin > /var/lib/apt/lists/partial/* /var/lib/apt/lists/* ; sudo apt-get update > ... > $ sudo aptitude install r-base r-base-core r-recommended r-base-dev > ... > E: Failed to fetch > http://mirrors.nics.utk.edu/cran/bin/linux/debian/squeeze-cran/r-base-core_2.15.2-1~squeezecran.0_amd64.deb: > Hash Sum mismatch Since your box is in somewhat disarrary, you could "wget r-base-core_2.15.2-1~squeezecran.0_amd64.deb" then "dpkg -i r-base-core_2.15.2-1~squeezecran.0_amd64.deb" although you may run into conflicts and/or dependency problems. Also, the apt-get update output seems to be snipped, is the CRAN repository the only one in your sources.list? Finally, from what I've read on some of those Google hits, the "Hash Sum mismatch" error indicates you have packages which don't agree with APT and the mirror, although I don't know how APT works this out. If you can figure it could you please post the solution? TTBOMK, and someone please correct me if I'm wrong, your troubles are somehow due to you not doing an apt-get upgrade. -- "If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing." --- Malcolm X -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
