Raspberry pi : apt-get update failes

Question

I was following a tutorial and as dumb as it sounds I was ended up with editing sources.list file and adding new gpg key. now when i'm updating the apt-get i'm getting this error. Any help to get me out of this is highly appreciated. Thanks

$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://mirrordirector.raspbian.org/raspbian/ stretch main contrib non-free rpi
# Uncomment line below then 'apt-get update' to enable 'apt-get source'
#deb-src http://archive.raspbian.org/raspbian/ jessie main contrib non-free rpi

$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/raspi.list 
deb http://archive.raspberrypi.org/debian/ stretch main ui
# Uncomment line below then 'apt-get update' to enable 'apt-get source'
#deb-src http://archive.raspberrypi.org/debian/ stretch main ui

Following is the result when I manually download the Packages.gz file using wget

Answer 1

For reference of others having the same problem. Any changes I did to the sources.list file did not worked. It' seems like the dns resolution of archive.raspberrypi.org redirected to some ip(103.1.138.146) which isn't getting the file with the expected hashsum. So I tried to update the apt offline. Using apt-offline utility I managed to update my rasp pi offline. (refer to [1] for steps)

After that apt-get update ran without an issue.

Try this:

sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/* -vf

then try again:

sudo apt-get update
