Simple: you successfully downloaded all the dives, but had some
problems, and never saved them.

Maybe just a "oops, screwed up editing" and exit without saving. Or
maybe a crash, whatever.

So then you restart subsurface, and need to re-download.  If you don't
actually _have_ the dive the fingerprint points to, then you should
re-download it, and not ignore it "becasue I already downloaded it".
