I commited the sources file and re-issued the build, but that did not seem
to be the real issue. Also, the sourcefile contents did not change between
builds, so I'm not sure how the previous built would have worked if the
checksum was wrong.
"make srpm" works fine. But "make plague" still fails with the above error.
