This looks like a consequence of pr.willowgarage.com being down, the
checksum for
boxturtle is actually correct. The "new" checksum is probably that of
an empty page.
The tarball gets downloaded from pr.willowgarage.com, see
3rdparty/gtest/Makefile

The one for latest is probably correct as well. If you look closer,
you'll notice that the
"new" checksums are the _same_ for _different_ tarballs, which is
highly unlikely.
