Sometimes vendors regenerate a distfile (giving it a different
checksum) but don't change the name. You might comment out the
related entries in /usr/ports/multimedia/linux-realplayer/distinfo and
hope the new file is mostly like the old one (and that no man in the
middle is tampering with the file).
My ~2 week old ports checkout has this port marked as BROKEN, probably
for this reason. I had to comment out BROKEN in the Makefile to
attempt the download at all.
For the record the sha256 of the file I downloaded today is:
SHA256 (/usr/ports/distfiles/RealPlayer-10.0.9.809-20070726.i586.rpm) = 158cde6b886abb7b30a669fb795435997b28fc005d4d96ff83168f1e4b9c83f1
I don't use this port, nor can I vouch for this checksum.
