/var/lib/apt/lists/us.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_hoary_Release

Still hosed here, even though I can find it...

carl at ubuntu:~/temp$ grep "universe/binary-i386/Packages$" Release
  df8be5e28f4eda2da679a0e761722bc8         11559237 
universe/binary-i386/Packages
  399b023abd295ce89e155db834f7a6e306a907b7         11559237 
universe/binary-i386/Packages

Same as yours (Matt's)

However, that doesn't seem to land where it needs to:
