Bug Description

"apt-get update" occasionally fails with something like

W: Failed to fetch bzip2:/var/lib/apt/lists/partial/ftpmaster.internal_ubuntu_dists_utopic_universe_binary-i386_Packages Hash Sum mismatch

This happens when apt downloads Release, then a mirror pulse happens in the middle, and the subsequently downloaded Packages.gz are from the next archive update.

In that case we should auto-retry apt-get once, like in http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~canonical-launchpad-branches/launchpad-buildd/trunk/revision/106?compare_revid=104
