I am using Ubuntu 15.10 and 64-bit system.

I am new to Ubuntu I am trying to use sudo apt-get update but I am getting error I am not able to understand what is wrong and I don't know how to rectify that error.

Below is my error after using the command.

Try:

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

sudo apt-get update

or:

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

sudo apt-get update 

If it still doesn't work, try to change your Download from server in Softwares and Updates of Ubuntu. May be give Main Server a try.

One reason can be a proxy blocking compression .gz files which can cause apt-get update to return the mismatch.

I hope it helps.
