Searching the forum for these error's. They have been discussed numbers of times.

[effemmeffe]

I'm sorry, but I can't find any post that helps me...

it just went away. i did a reboot and then tried again an update & upgrade and it worked.

[mk01]

still, such a errors (specially after they "go away") with reboot are saying, that something is bad. filesystem/memory(due to OC)/or similar.

[CurlyMo]

No, this is an error of the raspbian repository. Nothing to do with us of the user hardware.

[mk01]

but then reboot can not solve the issue

[CurlyMo]

The reboot didn't solve the issue, but the time between the two pollings of the apt repo. If you do an apt-get update while raspbian is also updating their repo, you get errors. If you wait a 15 minutes, then it will work again.

[mk01]

I believe you ;-)
