I have struggled for hours on end to fix a serious problem which started after the turn of the year. I cannot make Synaptic reload! I have read through the questions here as well as the answers. I have TRIED THEM ALL!
I am no novice to Linux! I started out with a half page of errors -- I've reduced it to ONE error that I cannot fix...
Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/trusty/main/binary-i386/Packages Hash Sum mismatch
Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
I do not have the above link anywhere in my system that I can find! "dists" or "binary" is simply not in my lists!
Below is a copy of my software sources list. Where does the above link come from?!
