I am trying to host my django application in cloudfoundry.

Answer 2

Original Response

This may be related to what-causes-failed-to-fetch-file-has-unexpected-size-mirror-sync-progress. It appears the dist was updated at 13-Dec-2019 01:34, so what ever mirror you're using might not be up to date yet.

Try to explicitly add the Microsoft registry:

curl https://packages.microsoft.com/keys/microsoft.asc | sudo apt-key add -
sudo apt-add-repository https://packages.microsoft.com/ubuntu/18.04/prod
sudo apt-get update

as per the documentation.

New Response (Fixed by developers)

Has been resolved see: https://github.com/dotnet/core/issues/3995

It wasn't the mirror, it was a repository issue.

It looked like the InRelease file wasn't up to date given that the distro was updated in the morning (2019-12-13) and the release updated the previous day.

For instance if you did a manual check of the MD5, SHA256 and file size, for Packages.gz, you would have found that there were discrepancies:

1. MD5 actual: 712391F77F24F2D9962FEE41CD41C55D, reported in InRelease: 54c730dd6a33c612b2ae3c23fe0cfcb7 for main/binary-amd64/Packages.gz
2. SHA256 actual: 28B8996AF9C6D5A3298F1EDC3427C1DED03E69D5EFCECF8469A075083AA01557, reported in InRelease: 179eb71f2afb4a72bf5b11180b4d4c9ccf1644076dd75f5a7bbf880ecefafbba for main/binary-amd64/Packages.gz
3. File size actual: 93512 bytes, expected: 165979.

After the fix, though, the values reported in the InRelease corresponded with manual checks.
