I am having Hash Sum Mismatches all over the place for the past two weeks. At first I thought nothing of it, but now that they have persisted for so long, there must be an underlying problem.

I see them on my regular machine, but also when I start up a Docker container. I did not expect to see them also in the Docker container. I would have thought I simply had some configuration error on my main machine. In an attempt to solve this, I have tried various permutations of

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

sudo apt update

sudo apt clean

as suggested by multiple threads:

• https://stackoverflow.com/questions/47083839/hash-sum-mismatch-in-ubuntu-16-04-3


• Trouble downloading packages list due to a "Hash sum mismatch" error

I also made sure that I am getting updates from the Main Server:

Any other ideas?

The output of

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

sudo apt update

is

In desperation mode, I tried all of the answers to this question:

Trouble downloading packages list due to a "Hash sum mismatch" error

One of the lowly-rated answers turned out to do the trick, namely:

https://askubuntu.com/a/809808/622128

Indeed when spinning up a Docker container, I also need to use this trick. From here on out I guess I will need Docker containers of the form

FROM ubuntu:18.04



RUN printf "Acquire::http::Pipeline-Depth 0;nAcquire::http::No-Cache true;nAcquire::BrokenProxy true;" > /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/99fixbadproxy



RUN apt-get update

...

Without this solution, Docker can't even build the containers.
