As a non-expert, my guesses are twofold:

1) Glitch while updating package list. Try updating the list again and 
see if that helps.

2) Strange effects when using a mirror that is currently being updated. 
Try waiting some time and update the package list.

Of course, I assume this could be a sign of a compromised mirror, and I 
would not upgrade until the problem is fixed.

I have seen this so often that I do not think it should be a cause for 
concern, just a cause for waiting a bit and trying again.
