Fixed in 1.25.3 (development version).  In Fedora terms this means
Fedora 21, but I could backport the upstream patches to Fedora 20 if
people are interested in this.

The solution to this (further down the thread) was to use checksums in
the index file.  This is possible in 1.24.1 (stable version, Fedora 20) &
1.25.3.
