Try apt-get clean again, please. I’ve regenerated metadata for that repository.
Hopefully it’ll sort it out. apt repos are still a mystery to me after more than a decade of maintaining them.
Still not working. I tried apt-get clean and apt-get autoclean.
Even used –fix-missing
Would it perhaps help to generate a whole new package e.g. webmin-virtual-server_6.04.gpl_all.deb ?
It seems that systems that where not updated since the release of the package. But are now via apt-get update / apt-get upgrade, the package is propperly installed. So maybe it is some kind of local caching?
apt-get clean && apt-get update && apt-get upgrade -y
Still the same error message, sorry about that. (Wheezy here).
Someone mentioned pushing a version 6.04, just to clear this mess. It might be the simplest solution, in terms of “time wasted VS interest of actually really understanding and solving the issue with repos”?
Cannot install latest update on Ubuntu 16.04 due to a hash sum mismatch error. I have already used apt-get clean, apt-get autoclean, apt-get update and apt-get upgrade all to no avail , cannot install from within webmin either.
repos showing in list are as follows:
http://software.virtualmin.com/gpl/ubuntu virtualmin-xenial InRelease
http://software.virtualmin.com/gpl/ubuntu virtualmin-universal InRelease
http://software.virtualmin.com/gpl/ubuntu virtualmin-xenial Release
http://software.virtualmin.com/gpl/ubuntu virtualmin-universal Release
Hope this helps and issue can be sorted.
Regards.
Can confirm that on several of our debian servers updates use “software.virtualmin.com/gpl/debian” that is no surprice because on those servers our /etc/apt/sources.list contains:
deb http://software.virtualmin.com/gpl/debian/ virtualmin-jessie main
deb http://software.virtualmin.com/gpl/debian/ virtualmin-universal main
after we changed it to:
deb http://software.virtualmin.com/vm/6/gpl/apt virtualmin-jessie main
deb http://software.virtualmin.com/vm/6/gpl/apt virtualmin-universal main
Did apt-get clean && apt-get update && apt-get upgrade you get:
Reading package lists… Done
W: GPG error: http://software.virtualmin.com virtualmin-jessie InRelease: The following signatures couldn’t be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY D9F9010760D62A6B
W: GPG error: http://software.virtualmin.com virtualmin-universal InRelease: The following signatures couldn’t be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY D9F9010760D62A6B
Do wget --quiet http://software.virtualmin.com/lib/RPM-GPG-KEY-virtualmin-6 -O - | apt-key add -
then:
apt-get clean && apt-get update && apt-get upgrade
would correctly upgrade correct me if I am wrong
So, apt-get clean apparently doesn’t actually clean. And, more frustratingly, I can’t reproduce this on my Debian 9 test system. Try running the following:
# rm -f /var/lib/apt/lists/*virtualmin*
# apt-get clean
# apt-get update
And, then the update should work.
didn’t resolve, I did the following …
# lsb_release -a

OK, I see the problem, but I can’t seem to convince the repo generation tools to actually regenerate metadata (even when I delete it all, it regenerates it with the same bogus details). Managing apt repositories is infuriating. (The new ones are managed using aptly, and they aren’t having this problem.)
I’ll get it fixed shortly now that I see what’s happening, somehow.
OK, really fixed this time.
Run apt-get clean; apt-get update.
I’m absolutely 100% very nearly sort of sure that it will now work correctly (seriously, though, it’ll work…I checked the Packages files on the servers…they’re right now).
The problem was I was caching package metadata outside of the repository in order to speed up repo generation…so, I had to go delete that, too, in order to convince it that the package had changed.
Awesome! can confirm upgrade worked, thanks 
It worked for me too 
Thank you

Thanks Joe. Sorry to hear about the challenge with the cache thingy. I know the feeling. At Ubertus we often face challenges related to caches. We find that cache is very useful to significantly speed up performance :) But it sometime comes with risks of unexpected challenges during development or updates.
For those not familiar with command lines. This challenge can be resolve using Webmin only. Steps:
- Using Webmin, go to /package-updates/?xnavigation=1
- Click on "Refresh available packages"
-

It’s working
Thank you
just to confirm as well: works like a charm on Debian 8 Jessie, Virtualmin upgrade from 6.02 to 6.03.
Thank you very much
