scop is right. The buildsys runs "make srpm" which in turn fetches the
md5 sums from the "sources" file and only succeeds in downloading
tarballs from the lookaside cache if they match the md5 sums. You
cannot simply replace a tarball in the lookaside cache, because when
its md5 sum differs, you need to update also the "sources" file.
