My just downloaded 'libical':

md5sum: d26a58149aaae9915fa79fb35c8de6fc

Thanks and cheers,

BLFS book is correct.
When I download this file the MD5sum is the same as in the BLFS book.
Arch linux repos also have the same MD5sum as the BLFS book so your
download is most likely corrupted.
I just downloaded it to verify, using the link given in the book
(
https://github.com/libical/libical/releases/download/v1.0.1/libical-1.0.1.tar.gz
)
and I have the same md5sum as Alex...
But when I download
https://github.com/libical/libical/archive/v1.0.1.tar.gz,
I get the same md5sum as the book.
The size is the same for both downloads. I guess the only difference is
the gzip time stamp.
Looks like the md5sum should be changed in the book to reflect what the
link given in the book provides.
I can do that unless somebody objects.
Please do. IIRC, we originally downloaded the v1.0.1 version and then the
proper tarball name became available.

Assuming you've never heard of BLFS, Arch, etc.,
but, for some reason, you want LibICAL (source).
You google "libical".
The second result is
"libical/libical GitHub"
(
this
looks more promissing, "libical" is shown twice, for emphasis I suppose)
Click on the link.
At the big page "GitHub libical/libical",
click on "3 releases" link.
At the "Libical version 1.0.1", under "Downloads"
- if you click on "libical-1.0.1.tar.gz"
you'll end up with a 'libical-1.0.1.tar.gz'
with an MD5 of
d26a58149aaae9915fa79fb35c8de6fc
(720618 bytes)
- if you click on "Source code (tar.gz)"
you'll end up with a 'libical-1.0.1.tar.gz'
with an MD5 of
af91db06b22559f863869c5a382ad08a
(720618 bytes)
which shows that
after all
, as Einstein used to say,
everything in life is relative.
No, it shows that github is screwed up. What they do in a browser
download is to change v1.0.1 to libical-1.0.1. The devs put up a separate
properly named tarball for those of us who want to download without a
browser, e.g. wget, can obtain a properly named tarball without a -O
option (which would be missing in a generated wget-list).
