I'd guess it's Yocto #1256[1], namely that "fetcher reports a download
failure when only the SRC_URI checksums mismatched"

The idea is that the fetcher retries downloads a few times when the
checksums do not match, unfortunately at the default log level this just
looks like a fetch failure.

Can you run bitbake with -DD and see if you can see a checksum error? Or
just verify checksums by hand?

Cheers,
Joshua
