Indeed, we finally understood why the original tarball was missing.

Thing is (which I was oblivious to), the caching process directly runs
on s.b.o, directly using the cache directory as BR2_DL_DIR.

So, when we download a file, and its hash is wrong, we ermove the file,
and continue the download to the next location (primary mirror, uptream
location, backup mirror).

However, in the s.b.o filling process, there is no backup mirror,
because we are the backup mirror already...

So, because the htop 3.0.5 archive had the wrong hash, it got removed.

And when I reverted the change, we had no other location where to grab
it from.

Thomas has now restored the archive on s.b.o:

    http://sources.buildroot.org/htop/htop-3.0.5.tar.gz

The CDN-backed s.b.n will eventually catch up...

Thanks for letting us now! :-)

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
