APT 4 Suse problems...
I've been trying out Suse on my desktop, and really like the use of APT for Debian, but am having problems getting errors while running apt-get from the http://linux01.gwdg.de/apt4rpm/ mirror. This is what happens:

Building Dependency Tree... Done
W: Release file did not contain checksum information for ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt...6/base/pkglist.
W: Release file did not contain checksum information for ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt...6/base/release.
W: Release file did not contain checksum information for ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt...6/base/pkglist.
W: Release file did not contain checksum information for ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt...6/base/release.
W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems
E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

Now I can seem to bypass this when installing packages using this:
apt install --no-checksig <pkg-name> but I know doing that is risky because you have no way to verify that the package is legit if the mirror gets hacked. I've imported all of the keys from http://linux01.gwdg.de/apt4rpm/rpmkeys, and the sources.list I use for my mirrors looks like this:

# Uncomment the line below, in case you want to use SuSE's patch rpms.
# Read the information about patch rpms at http://linux01.gwdg.de/apt4rpm

# A very basic sources.list line. Fastest repository first.
# Remove "base" in case you are behind a
# slow connection. Fastest repository first.
# Visit the server to determine which apt components are provided.

# The list with all available components can be found at:
# http://linix01.gwdg.de/apt4rpm
# Some components provide experimental software, select wisely!
# http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/ap...urces.list.FTP

# Consult the link above if you want to include uri's for src rpms

I forgot to add this error I also get. It looks like a pkglist failure;

Failed to fetch ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt...6/base/pkglist. Unable to fetch file, server said '/pub/linux/suse/apt/SuSE/9.1-i386/base/pkglist. .bz2: No such file or directory. '

Thanks again

Tried some other mirrors? It could just be that the mirror is missing something.
