Telkom ISP caching

[broloks]

Hi,

I'm having issues with Telkom ISP when I update my systems with apt-get. I either
get hash sum mismatches or "BAD SIG" errors when I run apt-get update.
When I do this at work with my laptop, or through a socks port at another ISP I don't get
these errors, but this is not a long-term solution.

Anyone else with the same problems?

Force your repo's to check on a different mirror?

To use the normal Linux poster's respose - Get Windows

Have you tried clearing the DNS cache on your machine?

 

[oldBastard]

sudo rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*
sudo apt-get update

tried a lot of different mirrors, all do the same at home with Telkom

Cleared chache, no difference

 

[broloks]

sudo rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*
sudo apt-get update

Tried this as well. After a lot of searching I have found some posts on forums that say it is the ISP that has a cache that seems outdated. Don't know.

You didn't say which operating system or version.

I've seen this recently with Ubuntu Xenial (and I'm not on Telkom), I just do

apt-get update

then

apt-get dist-upgrade

again and it seems to work.
I think the mirrors are taking strain at the rate things are being updated.

Linux Mint 17.1, 17.2 and 17.3
All affected.

Issues is that

apt-get update

does not update package lists due to either hash sum mismatches, missing keys or bad signatures.

Compare Telkom and your other ISP with this proxy and cache test:
