Upstream has changed the distfile. I've commited the change to PkgSrc.

Here are the changes:

% diff -ruq sqlite-autoconf-3430100 sqlite-autoconf-3430100-new
Files sqlite-autoconf-3430100/tea/configure and sqlite-autoconf-3430100-new/tea/configure differ
Files sqlite-autoconf-3430100/tea/configure.ac and sqlite-autoconf-3430100-new/tea/configure.ac differ
Only in sqlite-autoconf-3430100-new/tea/doc: sqlite3-tcl.n
Only in sqlite-autoconf-3430100/tea/doc: sqlite3.n

Looks like they corrected the version for tea. The former distfile had 3.43.0, now it's 3.43.1.

Kind regards,
Adam
