Trying to load Iceweasel and update to hrev58893-1. Get a checksum error and **Failed to download package haiku: Bad data. And then it’s the end of the road.
If it is something at the server end I should be glad if you would fix it. If it is at my end then I’m sorry to have bothered you and would like to know how to fix it.
Thanks for the great work,
Andrew
There are ongoing problems with the current hosting of the package repositories. I think we try to update some files, but old versions remain cachede, leading to this error. Our admins manually clear the cache from time to time and are investigating migration to a simpler hosting system.
So, just retry in a few hours and hopefully you can catch the server in a consistent state
I have also experienced this issue from time to time and waited for the next update.
You have to manually clean the local package cache though to force a re-download.
