Reason for closing:  Won't fix
Additional comments about closing:  Upstream should just version their files

That's because the upstream file is not versioned: they just edit it in place...

I'm not sure sure how I could "fix" this other than by building a new iana-etc daily. Suggestions are welcome.

Would it be very ugly that the check function of PKGBUILD itself perform the calculation operation and replace it with the sed editor?
After all, the download url is secure.

Yes that would be very ugly. Replacing the checksum means the file got updated, so the resulting package is changed.

Only way to fix this is by adding the file as local source to svn and check for updates periodically.
