Some packages do not supply MD5 hashes, one solution would be..

cd /var/cache/apt/archives

sudo apt-get clean

sudo apt-get --download-only --reinstall install `debsums -l`

sudo debsums --generate=keep,nocheck *.deb

sudo debsums -s -a

i solved this problem myself but thanks for the help.it can be done by in a terminal type sudo su
give password.load up debsums -l.
type debsums_gen rsync " it generates a md5sum.
you can do this to all that are missing except for Unbuntu-keyring...
hope this can be used for others.
still have a problem with checksum mismatches
