checksum mismatch on hicolor-icon-theme-0.5

[Chandler May]

I had downloaded the latest version (hicolor-icon-themes-0.5.tar.gz),
and it was even the exact same size as the file that Ports was
requesting, so I didn't think that redownloading it would do any good.

Well, out of desperation, I did (delete the current file and download
a new one), and that fixed everything. I don't know why or how, but it
did.

Thanks for your help!

Chandler
