Installing on Ubuntu 16.10 (Yakkety): Hash sum mismatch

Docker Engine
1

I’m trying to install docker-ce on Ubuntu 16.10. After adding the repo and Docker’s GPG key, I get this when updating the package index:

E: Failed to fetch https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/dists/yakkety/stable/binary-amd64/Packages.bz2 Hash Sum mismatch

E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

The hash sum error looks very similar to these issues

Hash sum mismatch · Issue #23203 · moby/moby · GitHub (and /issues/30207…I can only post two links)

The error seems like it would be a problem with the packages, and issue 23203 seems to confirm it in the prior case. I tried the following workaround from the second link to no avail:

sudo apt-get update -o Acquire::CompressionTypes::Order::=gz
sudo apt-get upgrade -y
sudo apt-get update

Any ideas on what I can do? It seems to me that the packages themselves are just bad, but I don’t know how I can get that fixes.

Colleague a couple days ago had a Hash Sum Mismatch with a package in their apt-cacher setup. The solution was to clear partial packages and/or package state from the cacher. Might be the same general solution for you; clear apt’s partial packages and/or package state.
