KStars 3.6.2 checksum mismatch on macOS was created by Wouter van Reeven

Hi,
I am trying to install KStars 3.6.2 on macOS via homebrew and get a checksum mismatch. Can someone fix that please? Removing the file as instructed and retrying leads to the same error.
$> brew update && brew upgrade --greedy && brew cleanup

This seems to happen regularly with updates. You can also do a

brew edit kstars

And substitute the expected checksum in place of the actual and rerun the update. Does sort of defeat the purpose of the cheksum however. It is helpful if you have an environment variable for EDITOR set to something like nano otherwise it defaults to vim.

Sorry I can't answer your question, but I am just curious why not use the very latest KStars 3.6.2 Mac OSX DMG download from:

brew edit kstars

worked like a charm.

I use homebrew for almost all software on macOS and therefore for KStars as well. The only time I do not use it is when the package is not available via homebrew, which doesn't happen often. It usually works very well for me and now I know how to solve checksum issues as well if they ever happen again.
