run "tar tfvz" on it and see what's inside.
The archive is corrupted... not a valid tar file. That's not good.... I
wonder if these SS4 and SS20 have stability issues.
I removed the binary file, it will be rebuilt.
Check that you have only one PKG_DBDIR (/usr/pkg/pkgdb, and not
/var/db/pkg).
I am pretty convinced that something is wrong with your system.
I have both. Strange. I migrated all by boxen back then.
I did some scary now:
sudo rm -rf /var/db/pkg*
sudo rm -rf /usr/pkg
and I hope this is enough to start over make-installing each package
from scratch. I will also discard binary packages created on this system
for safety, since it could be inconsistent.
