I'm terribly sorry, it was false alarm.  :-(

The files seem to be stale on the mirror I was using,
i.e. it didn't resync some packages that were updated
on the master, even though the date stamps on the mirror
are fresh.  I have no idea what's going on there.

After I removed the files locally and downloaded them
from the main FTP site, all checksums match.  So
everything seems to be OK.

Sorry for the confusion.

Best regards
   Oliver
