I have *no* expert or inside information on this, but my reflex on
seeing that message (especially if, as is indicated by other replies
here, other people aren't getting this error) is to think that this
reflects a problem with the current state on the specific mirror you
were connecting to at the time of the update attempt.

Assuming the error is still showing up for you with that mirror, it
might be interesting to see whether or not it also happens with a
completely different mirror (probably in a completely different part of
the world), one that's known - from posts by others - to not be
manifesting the issue for others.

Whether or not switching mirrors causes the errors to go away would
influence the consideration of whether to report the problem, and if so,
what place would be best to send the report.
