The lookaside cache mechanism also takes into account the file's MD5
checksum when retrieving a file. So make sure your local "sources"
file is up-to-date and correct. Currently it is marked as 'M'
(modified), so possibly contains a wrong checksum. Check out a
fresh copy, try again. "make srpm" for fetchlog-1.0-4.fc5 works here.
