I sometimes get this when I'm installing a package during the installation process, but not afterwards. I would try installing these one at a time after installation is complete, and in the proper order. Look for missing dependency errors (if any) then install those missing packages. > > Have there been wrong distibutions put onto ftp sites and distibution > disks? > I tried using FTP from friday untill sunday night.

In my case, upgrading my ports tree caused weird problems when I didn't first upgrade my base OS to STABLE. I have reluctantly resorted to using just the packages from the CDs. It sounds like you have to pay quite a bit for your connection time, so it might be worthwhile to actually purchase an official set of CDs from BSDi, or even a cheap redistro from Cheapbytes or LinuxMall.
