apt-get update gives "Hash Sum mismatch"

Post by GeneCash »

I'm trying to install the official release through the normal Debian apt process.

Here's the relevant line in my /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian jessie contrib

When I do "apt-get update":

Get:11 http://download.virtualbox.org jessie InRelease [5,628 B]
Get:12 http://download.virtualbox.org jessie/contrib amd64 Packages [1,339 B]
Get:13 http://download.virtualbox.org jessie/contrib i386 Packages [1,356 B]

W: Failed to fetch http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualb ... 6/Packages Hash Sum mismatch
E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

Edit: I did the "wget -q https://www.virtualbox.org/download/oracle_vbox.asc -O- | apt-key add -" to make sure the public key was updated.
I've installed VirtualBox-4.3 using this method in the past.
