An other way to fix it in some ways is to run a make makesum to update
the distfile checksums
The fp7_archive.zip was an odd case were I felt more comfortable deleting it
-- hadn't see that error before (and didn't save it to cut and paste). I
thought it was only my system, but apparently, others had this same issue
with the fp7_archive.zip file. Maybe a new one was released with the same
filename on adobe?
Would "makesum" would blindly use what is in the /usr/ports/distfiles --
corrupt, man-in-the-middled, or whatever was there?
Yes. Don't use make makesum unless you're porting or at least know the
distfile is safe. make distclean and a refetch is the safer way to go,
or updating the ports tree so the checksum comes from someone who is
presumably more aware of the correct distfile.
