File has unexpected size (782 != 781). Mirror sync in progress? [IP: 188.114.97.2 443]

Hi,

I'm getting the following error on sudo apt update :

The only way to bypass it was to remove the PPA.

Thanks

As it can be read, the mirror was synchronizing

[KaKi87]

Well, that seemed unlikely since the error message indicated a 1 byte difference and that the time indicated was 45 minutes ago. Thanks

[KaKi87]

Hum, actually, the error is still occuring, so whatever synchronizing means, it's either still doing it or it's something else. Thanks

[Javinator9889]

@KaKi87 try removing the APT list and adding it again. Sometimes APT messes up with cache and breaks the installation if it was just during the mirror synchronization.

[KaKi87]

As mentioned, after removing the PPA, sudo apt update runs okay.

However, when adding it back, the same error occurs again.

Thanks

I cannot reproduce your issue @KaKi87 - I've just created a new VM and it ran smoothly. Please, check the steps you've done and try doing it again. Issue the uninstall commands and then the install ones again.

Sorry not being able to help you better.
