I've tried:

rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*
apt-get clean
apt-get update

Still no luck.

Any idea's why I'm seeing this or how to fix?

Fresh install.

Try replacing your /etc/apt/sources.list with:

deb http://http.debian.net/debian/ jessie main
deb http://http.debian.net/debian/ jessie-backports main
deb http://security.debian.org/ jessie/updates main

Seems to work, thanks. Maybe the online.net mirrors are broken?

This is what I had previously:

deb http://mirrors.online.net/debian jessie main
deb http://mirrors.online.net/debian jessie main non-free contrib
deb-src http://mirrors.online.net/debian jessie main non-free contrib
deb http://security.debian.org/ jessie/updates main contrib non-free
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ jessie/updates main contrib non-free

This happened to me some time ago, a simple

rm /var/lib/apt/lists/*

followed by a

apt-get update

fixed it every time.

If you read the thread you'd see that I tried that and it didn't work

Ah, damned...sorry for that!
I missed that line and shot from the hip.

But then I would change the repos to the offical ones as @rm_ suggested.
This is what fixes it whenever Ubuntu is starting to complain when using the localized repos.

Normally what I did is to:

1. remove everything from /etc/apt/
2. copy everything from /etc/apt/ from a working server;
3. apt-get update
4. apt-get upgrade

I've had this happen a few times and it always fixes itself

Remember to run apt-key update

I've had the same error yesterday with online.net mirrors.
Switching back to debian.org repos fixed the problem.
I think it's related to the apt package being upgraded.
