Support

Problem: Using apt-update to get the header/index results hash errors for files. Cannot download and install. ( I had to edit the urls since new users cannot post more than 5)

Get:11 urlhttp://deb.theforeman.org buster/1.24 amd64 Packages [37.5 kB]
Err:11 urlhttp://deb.theforeman.org buster/1.24 amd64 Packages

    E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

Expected outcome: header/ index files downloaded without error

Foreman and Proxy versions: 1.24

Thanks.

I can update my sources for that repository right now, and they pass. Were you trying around when the release file was being generated, and did you try again later?

I have been trying the past few days with the same result…

What does the following command output:
sha512sum /var/lib/apt/lists/deb.theforeman.org_dists_buster_1.24_binary-amd64_Packages

It should output:
c07cddf74182db48d679387b90e047e39a1fe4c79fa373463a21c9cc24b417ce3e3a475f780146a3bdb5709713a0f661a89356e8eedece7cb5aa6fd70cc3038d /var/lib/apt/lists/deb.theforeman.org_dists_buster_1.24_binary-amd64_Packages

Have you tried
apt-get clean; apt-get update

I already tried apt-get clean and apt-get update…still the same result.
