Comment(by blb@…):

 Half the time?  I'd say the vast majority of checksum issues falls into
 three categories:
  - corrupted download
  - stealth upgrade upstream
  - bad mirror

 From a user point of view, I can see how one may say the stealth upgrade
 could be port breakage, but it's really upstream not doing properly
 release management.  The bad mirror is a good case to report since we
 would need to remove that mirror from being used in the future.

 Deleting the file shouldn't be a pain at all, just {{{sudo port clean
 --all <portname>}}} as the aforementioned FAQ notes.
