>Description:
Trying to make expat, the distfile downloads then the make aborts with:

=> Checksum mismatch for expat-1.95.6.tar.gz.
Make sure the Makefile and checksum file (/usr/pkgsrc/textproc/expat/distinfo)
are up to date.  If you want to override this check, type
"make NO_CHECKSUM=yes [other args]".
*** Error code 1

Stop.

I did a "make distclean" a few times, then manually downloaded the distfile just to make sure.  Yes, both filesize and checksum are different than what the pkgsrc tree thinks.
>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
1) (easy) Rebuild distinfo and update pkgsrc.

2) (hard) Figure out why the distinfo is incorrect.  Check for malicious code in the distfile.

Hopefully this is just a finger-fumble.
