I'm going to post some emails detailing a few issues I've encountered
building BLFS packages in the past several weeks. I believe some are
real problems, others are probably the result of my ignorance of
important things. Here we go:
I tried to build the updated xterm-352 in BLFS, but the
checksum for the tgz file did not match, and
"tar xf xterm-352.tgz" complained that this does not look
like a tar file. I checked the md5sum in the BLFS book
for this and it did not match.
I was able to find another download source:
https://fossies.org/linux/misc/xterm-352.tgz/
The checksum in the BLFS book matches with this file, and it
builds successfully. It works fine in X Windows.

Hi Alan,
I just downloaded it and extracted it to make sure that the link in
the book worked. I didn't find any problems, and the MD5SUMs match. It
was likely a transient problem upstream. Thank you for reporting though!

Well something strange is going on, then. I just checked too, and the
md5sums don't match. Here's what I did, with information from the latest
edition of the BLFS book:
Beyond Linux^® From Scratch (systemd Edition) - Version 2020-01-21
Chapter 24. X Window System Environment
xterm-352

Download (HTTP):

Download MD5 sum: 9d41798d035976715d532d38327f5e41
My commands for this latest tgz file:
alan [ ~ ]$ cat md5sums
9d41798d035976715d532d38327f5e41 xterm-352.tgz
alan [ ~ ]$ md5sum -c md5sums
xterm-352.tgz: FAILED
md5sum: WARNING: 1 computed checksum did NOT match
alan [ ~ ]$ ll xterm*
-rw-r--r-- 1 alan wheel 1402285 Jan 22 19:52 xterm-352.tgz
Files downloaded several days ago. Note that the xterm-352.tgz file is
from https://fossies.org/linux/misc/xterm-352.tgz/ .
alan [ /sources/xc ]$ ll xterm*tgz
-rw-r--r-- 1 lfs wheel 1401009 Jan 16 00:53 xterm-351.tgz
-rw-r--r-- 1 lfs 1000 1405420 Jan 18 22:20 xterm-352.tgz
The size is different from the file downloaded from the BLFS book, and
it matches to the checksum given in the BLFS book.
