For the last few days (from 31 Jan 2015), sa-update has been failing on

around
then, so I'm puzzled by why this is happening (it's been working fine
for
over a year beforehand).
I'm running sa-update version svn1475932 (with Perl version 5.18.2) on
a
64-bit Ubuntu 14.04 box.
Running "sa-update -D" shows the following output:
[...]
So the update is not getting the expected sha1 verification. There are
4
mirrors in MIRRORED.BY, and I've tested it with each one selected
individually and the others removed, but I get the same result for each
mirror. I also reinstalled Digest::SHA1 on CPAN, but still no joy.
Has anyone else noticed this problem, or is it just me? Any ideas how I
can
fix this? Is it a problem with my installation or with the mirrors?
Perhaps you have an existing (old or corrupted) file 1655961.tar.gz
with a timestamp younger than the timestamp of this file on the
web server, and the -z option in curl is preventing a new file to
be downloaded.
