Hi, I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 amd64 with cran2deb packages (I know it's meant for Debian, it's worked fine for me for many months). Recently apt-get update has to started to complain: ... Hit http://debian.cran.r-project.org testing/ Release Get:1 http://debian.cran.r-project.org testing/ Packages [515kB] Fetched 1B in 3s (0B/s) W: Failed to fetch http://debian.cran.r-project.org/cran2deb/debian-amd64/testing/Packages.bz2 Hash Sum mismatch My /etc/apt/sources contains: deb http://debian.cran.r-project.org/cran2deb/debian-amd64 testing/ Any idea?

Yes, sorry about that. I just asked for advice on debian-devel and it appears to be a "feature" of the mini-dinstall package we use to create the archive. The general recommendation seems to be that one should switch to the reprepro package for archive creation which Charles and I plan to do that. But it is not yet clear when we will have time to do so. -- Regards, Dirk

Does this mean cran2deb debian64 will be broken for the near future? -- Gad Abraham PhD Student, Dept.
