A bit of a late reply, but you don't seem to have gotten another.  If
the mirror is truly up to date, AND the sources are not broken, it will
(should) work at some point.  My experience over the last week or so has
been that if you keep syncing the local repository with a good mirror,
eventually it will work when everything finally matches up.  An
attempted update clobbered my home test system and it took 5 or 6
iterations of updating and trying to boot up the installer before the
"does not match" message went away.  An attempted new install on a test
machine at work went about the same way.  If there's an easy fix other
than "Keep trying" I haven't seen it.
