>Description:

  Somtimes software authors replace tarballs without changing names
(versions, etc).
  Maintainer should do `make makesum' in such case and commit changes
in distinfo.
  But if distinfo contains SIZE of old file, downloading of new one (but with
old name) FAILS!
  Yes, it could be workarounded with deleting SIZE line from distinfo. But may
be here are better solutioin?

>How-To-Repeat:

% make makesum
===>  Vulnerability check disabled
>Fix:
