autoconf bitbake problem

On one of my dev systems, I have successfully built both the console-image and x11-image. On another dev system (more recently set up), I am trying to get the system to build, and it is failing quite early in the process. It builds up to the point where it attempts to get autoconf, and it then complains about the md5 checksums not matching. I am not behind any proxy, and I have tried several attempts at this, including deleting the entire tree and restarting the process from the “git clone git://git.openembedded.net/openembedded” point. I get the same error every time.

Any help is appreciated.
Here is the specific error section:

It seems that either the download got corrupted or your disk is
flipping bits.

'rm /opt/oe/tmp/downloads/autoconf-2.61.tar.bz2*' and tetry

Thanks for the suggestion. I’ve removed and redownloaded quite a few times (as well as deleting the entire tree and reloading everything) and it still happens. I just edited the “checksums.ini” file to update it with the expected checksums, and it now works, which means the .tar.bz file was valid and compileable, even though the checksums didn’t match.

Is it possible that the file was updated on the ftp server, without the checksums.ini file being updated to match?

That could be, and that's what we call etiher 'stupid upstream
developers' or 'break-in that compromized code'.
