[R-SIG-Mac] SHA checksum mismatch for arm64 gfortran?

[peter dalgaard]

I see this too. There were some signing issues with the R downloads recently; perhaps it also affected this and the SHA sum wasn't updated. You probably want a more authoritative answer from Simon, though.

In the process, I was double-checking the SHA256 hashes of the gfortran downloads on the R Mac Tools page (https://mac.r-project.org/tools/) and noticed that the hash for the ARM64 download listed on the website (86d169f9d62b2b2ddbf5fde55935fbb96729da5c47d7bf09240228cd23b664e5) doesn’t match with the hash of the downloaded file (e7a5272fcbe002e9e22effc18bba01c352ca95f63dc3264865d9f8020ac55821).

Is the hash on the website mistaken, or is something else going on? Either way, I figured I should let someone know.
