I get when trying to install:

 rpm -Uvh lazarus-0.9.28.2-0.src.rpm
   1:lazarus                warning: user vincent does not exist - using
root
warning: group vincent does not exist - using root
########################################### [100%]
error: unpacking of archive failed on file
/usr/src/redhat/SPECS/lazarus-0.9.28.2-0.spec;4d124ea3: cpio: MD5 sum
mismatch

This is a fresh download from the url you provided.

But suspect it might be another rpmlib symptom....
I just did the rpm2cpio + unpack + edit *.spec

currently doing rpmbuild -ba *spec (after moving tar.gz into proper place)
doing cycle to verify installable rpms and runable bins

lazarus-0.9.28.2-0.src.rpm:
