Hi everyone, firstly thanks so much for everything you do. I’m having trouble updating the virtualbox version of whonix (I’ve had this trouble with previous version also.)
Whonixcheck always fails to download updates. I’ve tried, no kidding, probably 10-15 times, including with many times with fresh imports of the .ova. This happens in both gateway and workstation.
If I try to update “manually” using the terminal, there are many errors there also.
Here is the most common error I encounter:
E: Failed to fetch tor+https://cdn-aws.deb.debian.org/debian/dists/buster/main/by-hash/SHA256/b406b8eca3f17b15ba9c54801cc85fa4773c560a0703ef1963d787f53054fdd3 Hash Sum mismatch

Other errors may have occurred but these are the only one I can reproduce at the time.
I’ve tried cleaning apt packages with
apt-get clean
rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*
And no luck.
I’ve tried updating with new tor nodes (via “n” key in nyx) and this doesn’t seem to help. (tried many times)
I’ve even tried “onionizing” the debian and whonix repositories with the instructions from the wiki.
What am I doing wrong??
Any help is very very very appreciated. I want to run Whonix, but I believe for the most secure experience it should be updated.
