  • Updates come from repositories hosted on servers. Those servers might be unavailable at times, or might contain invalid information. Try the approved solution here: stackoverflow.com/questions/15505775/… and let us know if it fixed your issue.

As explained here, hash sum mismatch errors are usually more typical for clients behind proxy caches. To solve the issue, remove all the content of /var/lib/apt/lists directory:

Type in the terminal:

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

then type:

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade

It should solve the issue. Ask your Internet Service Provider do they use some proxy. If yes. Then ask can they disable proxy for you.
