[Tinyos-help] Hashsum mismatch with Stanford repository

[David]

Wow, I can't believe it! I just tried it once more and it's the same  
again.

Ubuntu version is 8.04 hardy for me as well.

I chose to install tinyos-2.1.0 from the synaptic packet manager and  
the needed dependancies were then activated for me automatically.  
Stuff was downloaded. I got a messagebox telling me "There were  
problems downloading some packets. Do you want to proceed? (Yes/No)"  
Checking on the details it says there are hash sum mismatches with the  
following packets:


avr-binutils-tinyos-2.17
avr-gcc-tinyos-4.1.2
nesc-1.3.0
msp430-binutils-tinyos
msp430-gcc-tinyos
tinyos-2.1.0
