[tools] createrepo checksum issue

[Ray Van Dolson]

>From time to time I run into a b0rked checksum issue when using mrepo.
Occasionally, when doing an update from a client machine to an
mrepo-managed repository will fail because a few of the packages have
checksum mismatches.

I poked into the issue a little bit more today and found that the
sha1sum on my rpm is valid -- both the version the client pulled from
the mrepo server and the copy on the mrepo server itself.  However, the
sha1sum value cached in the createrepo cache file for that package is
actually different from the real sha1sum of the file!

Note that this is with the 0.4.6 version of createrepo from rpmforge
(I'm running on RHEL4.7).

I wonder if this patch from 0.4.8 would fix the problem?
