  • the .397 release was really skipped and is the same as 1.398. You must have hit the repo just at the right time when it was inconsistent. – Manfred Moser Mar 22 '11 at 23:24
  • It's still trying to hit 1.397 and I can't seem to get any of the suggestions to work with a fresh install of ubuntu. Keeps saying Unable to fetch some archives... just after complaining about a size mismatch. Is there a way to specify version? – Jeff Ancel Mar 23 '11 at 02:59
  • I did succeed after I followed the instructions on this page http://hudson-ci.org/debian/ – vepa Mar 30 '11 at 07:47

apt-get clean

apt-get update

apt-get install hudson

this should work.

This question is probably best posted to serverfault.com; but regardless; it appears the mirror you are using is busted and you most likely downloaded an error page (which is why the failure). Try doing an update for your repository to get the latest mirror information. 

apt-get update

I had the same problem.

I followed the steps here: http://makeitfaster.wordpress.com/2010/12/14/install-the-hudson-build-server-on-ubuntu-10-10-server/

Which then also failed at the "sudo dpkg --install /tmp/hudson.deb" line. Then I did this:

aptitude install openjdk-6-jre

At which point hudson finished installing and came on line.

I've got the same problem...

Need to get 38.8MB of archives. After this operation, 39.7GB of additional disk space will be used. WARNING: The following packages cannot be authenticated!

Failed to fetch http://hudson-ci.org/debian/binary/hudson_1.397_all.deb Size mismatch E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?

I have done

apt-get clean

apt-get update

apt-get install hudson

as root.

Still don't understand what the size mismatch is - I can't see any errors downloaded.

The main difference between me and the original poster is that I am downloading 38.8MB, but it still reports the wrong size.
