That one works fine, indeed.

Before I downgraded to 1.4.14+git20100207-1 from snapshot.d.o, I
reinstalled the current version of silo in Sid to see if that checksum
error vanishes. It didn't.

Even after installing silo 1.4.14+git20100207-1 (no debsums errors)
and then upgrading again to the current version of silo in Sid, I got
the above noted checksum error again. Redownloading the .deb from the
mirror and reinstalling silo again (i.e. "apt-get clean" and "aptitude
reinstall silo") didn't help either. Is this wanted/normal?
