Only if you know the reason the checksum mismatched.  It's much safer
to remove the distfile and re-fetch it; often vendors will make
"minor" changes to their distfiles after releasing a given software
version, which is what causes the distfile to change.  You might have
the old version, on the other hand you might have already downloaded
the new version, in which case re-fetching won't help, and you should
submit a PR or talk to the teTeX maintainer about updating the MD5
sum.
