Hmm, I tried that last week, and again this morning... but re-fetching
the packages from the master OpenBSD site again, and retrying again
with the offending file renamed out of the way, now xpdf* install ok.
Thanks 1L<<20!
I guess either the mirror I was fetching from last week was broken,
or some link in the chain
OpenBSD mirror site
--> neighbor's house with wired internet
--> neighbor's very weak wavelan signal in a snowstorm
(yes, I had his permission to use it, he gave me the WPA key)
--> wife's windows PC that grokked WPA encryption
--> usb flash memory stick
--> new OpenBSD system (which still doesn't have a working wavelan)
corrupted one of my packages... Hmm, perhaps packages should have an
embedded checksum to spot corruption?
ciao,
