Description

When running sudo apt update on my Librem 5 (Birch), I get the following error :

E: Failed to fetch https://repo.pureos.net/pureos/dists/amber/main/binary-arm64/Packages  lzma_read: Read error (7)

E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

I have ran sudo apt clean followed by another sudo apt update but it didn't help.

It seems that this error is not frequent but someone on the forum already mentioned it : https://forums.puri.sm/t/lzma-read-read-error-7-from-apt-get-update/8294

This points to file corruption I think. It appears that people have had success in deleting files in

/var/lib/apt/lists/

and re-running apt.
