Exactly.  Since I was one of the reviewers of that ticket I "knew" it but 
of course I never thought to actually remove the tarball.

I had the knowledge to figure out what happened (granted, presumably most 
people using sage-fix-pkg-checksums would too) but I don't see any reason 
to necessarily require that of this script.  Maybe it can check if the info 
in the file "type" is wrong in such cases and then print a different 
message, like "you should check at the following URL to see if you still 
need this tarball"; that should be pretty easy to automate (rather than 
dynamically checking against some master list).
