>Description:
The distfile that's available for misc/ipbt doesn't
match what the distinfo in misc/ipbt expects.
The same distfile is available from the master site and
ftp.netbsd.org
>How-To-Repeat:
# make sure you don't have an old distfile for ipbt
# ie: mv ..../distfiles/ipbt-r7471.tar.gz /somewhere/safe
cd ..../pkgsrc/misc/ipbt
make checksum
>Fix:
Find out what changed in the distfile, and if it is
safe, update the distinfo.
This problem has existed for a while now (in fact, as
ftp.netbsd.org has the "bad" distfile, it has most
likely been this way since the pkg was last updated,
indicating the master site distfile was altered between
when the maintainer fetched a copy to make the package
and when that was complete and the package update was
committed)
