First, please save a copy of the bad file. I'd like to know whether it's a 1-bit error. That would indicate memory or SCSI problems. Then, ideally, grab the good file manually from freefall. Put it somewhere on the same filesystem as your repository. Then move it into place atomically using "mv". Or, just remove the file and let your next hourly update pick it up.
