[OS X TeX] MacTeX 2022 checksum failing

[Murray Eisenberg]

I did read what tug.org/mactex/maxex-download.html <http://tug.org/mactex/maxex-download.html> said, namely:

The link below leads to a multiplexer which connects to
various CTAN servers. For the first few days of a release, these servers provide
MacTeX-2021 rather than the new release. If the item under the link points to a
2021 file, they all have the old version. Wait a few days after 2022/04/03 before downloading. 

t first today, below the MacTeX.pkg link, it showed a 2021 date. But then later today — before I downloaded — that date below changed to 21 March 2022.
