Thanks for the report, I've fixed the hpijs-port today.

A md5sum miss-match should never happen, but in most cases it's because 
upstream decided to change the tarball without raising the version number, 
which is a bad strategy IMO. At sourceforge you can always see the md5sum 
of the tarballs by clicking on the 'i' or 'info' rightmost besides the 
filename.
