I am using ubuntu 18.04. When I tried to update the software using sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
, I get a checksum mismatch error:
Get:1 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-updates/main amd64 linux-headers-4.15.0-144 all 4.15.0-144.148 [11.0 MB]

E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?
I am curious to know what could be the root cause of this. Is there a suggestion on how to fix this?
Update:
I tried the suggestions related to clearing caches, changing mirros, etc mentioned in Trouble downloading packages list due to a "Hash sum mismatch" error, but they did not help.
Just to confirm the checksum of the file, I tried wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/l/linux/linux-headers-4.15.0-144_4.15.0-144.148_all.deb && md5sum linux-headers-4.15.0-144_4.15.0-144.148_all.deb
and it prints 98de1c987d3726787cd89cc6a45450ba, which is a different checksum as compared to 8f50bc4934fc62ba526f1d75244e0727
mentioned in the upgrade error message and https://www.ubuntuupdates.org/package/core/bionic/main/security/linux-headers-4.15.0-144. Why would the checksum change? Can the package files on the repositories be replaced after releasing?
