How to solve files hash sum mismatches when updating?

I've added to my sources lists the repositories of metasploit and virtualbox in order to make it easy to install them. It was working normally and the updates were coming but today when I tried to update I got the following output:

Err:4 [url]http://downloads.metasploit.com/data/releases/metasploit-framework/apt[/url] lucid/main i386 Packages

What can be causing this? And also, how to solve?
Thanks in advance

Re: How to solve files hash sum mismatches when updating?

It seems that the repository's Packages, Packages.gz, and Packages.bz2 files recently changed but your system is still looking for the old version of these files because the repository metadata cached on your system is old.

Delete all repository metadata and try again with these commands:

# apt-get clean
# rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*
# apt-get update

Hopefully that'll take care of it.

Re: How to solve files hash sum mismatches when updating?

i just did the clearing commands too and am getting those errors, see below.
is it safe to do upgrades? 
is the repository out of sync or hacked?
