expat distfiles fail checksum

Here's the output from my Emacs shell. I get the same results in the Terminal app.

Pi:~ tahoma$ sudo port clean --all expat Password: ---> Cleaning expat Pi:~ tahoma$ sudo port install expat ---> Fetching expat ---> Attempting to fetch expat-1.95.8.tar.gz from ​http://voxel.dl.sourceforge.net/expat ---> Attempting to fetch expat-1.95.8.tar.gz from ​http://kent.dl.sourceforge.net/expat ---> Verifying checksum(s) for expat Error: Checksum (md5) mismatch for expat-1.95.8.tar.gz Error: Target com.apple.checksum returned: Unable to verify file checksums Pi:~ tahoma$

And, today, it doesn't. The following was captured from the same emacs shell this morning with absolutely no environment changes. Something was different from the TCP/IP connection outward...

It was most likely a sourceforge mirror hiccup, since there've been issues with the way SF's mirroring works (an unavailable file will return a redirect instead of a 404, causing the download process to think the final HTML page downloaded is actually the proper file.)

Good to hear the mirror cooperated today.
