Thanks for the patches, I'm not 100% convinced the issues are all resolved =
though.

For example, even after the patches are applued, test_npm has a version
in it but no checksum, yet the test passes, test_npm_premirrors also
has no checksum and so on.

How are we verifying the fetched sources in those cases?

Cheers,
