I've installed Ubuntu 12.04 on a computer. Everything is fine without update. Just after the installation, it was showing about 200 MB updates to download. Since then I'm trying to install all the updates. Now it's partially completed, some of the software (firefox,VLC) is updated. Still it's showing 39.3 MB updates to download and it's failing again and again. Every time I tried to install these 39.3 MB updates, it shows that, it can't connect to internet, but there is no problem with my connection (Network indicator shows it's connected and I can browse and download anything). It's giving me the following message:



Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/l/linux/linux-image-3.2.0-43-generic-pae_3.2.0-43.68_i386.deb Size mismatch

Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/l/linux/linux-headers-3.2.0-43-generic-pae_3.2.0-43.68_i386.deb Size mismatch


I thought this is a problem with sources list. So I've given the following command



sudo rm -vf /var/lib/apt/lists/partial/*


Previously, I've faced similar type of problem with a different computer. At that time, this solution worked for me, but now I'm still facing this problem. Anyone please help me to solve this problem.

My problem is solved now. I'm posting here the solution step by step. From the output of sudo apt-get update, I was facing following problem:



W: Failed to fetch gzip:/var/lib/apt/lists/partial/us.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_precise-updates_multiverse_binary-i386_Packages  Hash Sum mismatch



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


To solve this problem I entered the following commands one by one.



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

sudo apt-get clean

sudo apt-get autoremove

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade


Then the output was

Now I was facing a GPG error. To solve this I tried the following 



$ sudo -i

# apt-get clean

# cd /var/lib/apt

# mv lists lists.old

# mkdir -p lists/partial

# apt-get clean

# apt-get update

# exit
