Yes I've been bitten by that when trying to build LXQt. Note that it
has nothing to do with jhalfs. Either put Attic instead of stable, or
use a later version.
Of course with a later version of kf5/plasma all the md5sums are
different.

For plasma in particular, do not the dependencies (and perhaps even
the available tarballs) change over time, so that we ought to stick
to the current versions of both for the moment ?
More generally, our releases are frozen at a point in time, and
subject to errata. If a url becomes unusable, do we not fix that
in the development book and add an erratum ?
Most of the blfs packages we use are copied to
http://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/blfs/ as they are upgraded. An exception to
that is kf5/plasma due to the number of packages and their size. The
size of the repository there is now 220G and has packages there going
back to BLFS-6.1 (2008). I do update osuosl virtually every day.
What I think is appropriate is for this case is to add a note similar to
the one in ImageMagick, but point it to Attic instead.
I did just check plasma, and https://download.kde.org/stable/plasma/
does go back to 5.17.0/ (October 2019), so that should not be a problem
unless they reorganize that page.
Pierre has explained to me on alfs-discuss about the jhalfs issue
with kf5, I'll maybe come back to that next week.
I do not use jhalfs for building BLFS. It is useful for showing the
order to build dependencies, but I have a long history of having BLFS
sources and scripts in /usr/src/<package>. jhalfs does not support that
organization and I do not want to re-download sources I already have. In
addition, my scripts are instrumented to place logs and statistics in a
consistent location tagged by which host built the package.
On the other hand, I find jhalfs invaluable for LFS.
