[lmi-commits] [lmi] master 61f5559: Don't hash non-existent file in CI "download archives" step

branch: master
commit 61f5559451ac3a288a931a4693f205d1406fcb2f

    Don't hash non-existent file in CI "download archives" step
    
    install_libxml2_libxslt.make doesn't exist any more and
    install_libxml2_libxsl.sh replacing it doesn't download anything, so we
    don't need to include the hash of this file in the cache key for the
    downloaded files any more.
    
    This should have been done in d217f203a (Fix GitHub CI to use
    lib{xml2,xslt} submodules, 2020-09-30), but was forgotten there.
