This should work.

Looking at the lookaside cache directly, it looks like that file has been
uploaded previously (in lookaside, there's currently two tarballs for
dkms-2.2.0.3.tar.gz with two separate md5sums).  Has the upstream perhaps
released a tarball, released a new tarball, and then reverted to the
original one?

One option is to change the sources file to reflect the new md5sum.

You may also want to check that the new tarball and the tarball in the
lookaside cache *really* are the same.  A hash collision is unlikely but if
that were the case we'd want to be extra certain about what's going on
before blindly accepting the changed tarball.

You can retrieve the tarballs in lookaside directly from here:
