[Bug 1995310] Re: Hash and size mismatch with http://ppa.launchpad.net/alessandro-strada/ppa/ubuntu bionic/main amd64

[Chris Guiver]

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better.

Bug reporting is mostly about finding & fixing problems thus preventing
future users from hitting the same bug.

I suspect a Support site would be more appropriate, eg.
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu. You can also find help with your
problem in the support forum of your local Ubuntu community
http://loco.ubuntu.com/ or asking at https://askubuntu.com or
https://ubuntuforums.org, or for more support options please look at
https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/community-support/709

When reporting bugs in the future please use apport by using 'ubuntu-
bug' and the name of the package affected. You can learn more about this
functionality at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ReportingBugs.

Title:
  Hash and size mismatch with http://ppa.launchpad.net/alessandro-
  strada/ppa/ubuntu bionic/main amd64

Status in apt package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  I have a student who is trying to run apt-get update and running into
  errors

  Ubuntu config on her machine:
  No LSB modules are available.
  Distributor ID:	Ubuntu
  Description:	Ubuntu 18.04.6 LTS
  Release:	18.04
  Codename:	bionic

  She is getting the following error:
  http://ppa.launchpad.net/alessandro-strada/ppa/ubuntu bionic/main amd64 Packages
    File has unexpected size (1343 != 1118). Mirror sync in progress? [IP: 185.125.190.52 80]

    Release file created at: Fri, 28 Oct 2022 20:07:43 +0000

  I have tried to research a workaround for similar errors but most say
  to just wait and it will fix itself. However, I saw a similar bug
  being raised
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/1975865

  Please could someone advise on a workaround of if this needs to be
  fixed somehow?
