This is not the first time Texinfo has releases a new version and changed the 
checksum on the previous version. Last time it was because of updated license 
files. Check the diffs if you like.

From what I understand, gnu.org has a policy of disallowing changes to 
uploaded files (all files are read-only, forever), but Texinfo seems to have 
a bypass.

I suggest bumping to the new checksum and file, or else there will be bug 
reports and bad checksums. I haven't checked the differences, but last time 
Texinfo did this the changes were cosmetic (to licenses), and has no effect 
on the system.
