Thanks Gustavo,

That was a cool idea.  I enjoyed the opportunity to hack on some of the pkg
files.

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to reproduce the error today -- even on my
quarantined machine.  I'm not sure if that's because the error pattern
somewhat random or because I've been updating the repos for the
dependencies in question since I first noticed the error.

Anyway, I will definitely keep this in mind the next time I see this
error.  And I'll post if I figure out what's going on.  Thanks again!
