Details

makepkg fails if upper case md5 strings are used. For example

9e107d9d372bb6826bd81d3542a419d6

and

9E107D9D372BB6826BD81D3542A419D6

for makepkg are not the same thing.

Steps to Reproduce:
Change the md5 string to uppercase inside an PKGBUILD file an try ton makepkg it.

It was working both ways in older versions. I don't know for sure if it is a bug or a feature.
This task depends upon

This should fix it.

You can directly patch your makepkg to confirm it works :
$ patch /usr/bin/makepkg -i 0009-makepkg-do-insensitive-comparisons-of-checksums.patch
   0009-makepkg-do-insensitive-c... (1.5 KiB)
