The problem is that Sleepycat repackaged their tarball at some point this
year, changing the filesize and checksum without changing the version number.
I have a feeling I got round this on one box by upgrading the ports tree
(which of course adds its own problems with newer ports, dependencies etc),
and on another box by copying the checksum and file size from
http://www.freshports.org/ into the port's distinfo.

It is an extremely irritating problem: in an ideal world no-one would ever
change the size/checksum of their main distfile without also changing the
filename/version number, even if only slightly.

ok, but on an adjacent 4.11-R machine, this worked, as the msg says:

%cd /usr/ports/distfiles/bdb
%ftp ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/distfiles/bdb/db-4.1.25.tar.gz

so I think I'm pretty close on this 4.10 machine, just some little tweak somewhere, but I can't find it.

thanks
Len
