I'm missing something obvious.  I'd be happy to fix the problem
if only I knew where it was.

$ hostname
ftp-master.freebsd.org
$ pwd
/archive/pub/FreeBSD
$ ls -ld packages
ls: packages: No such file or directory
$ cd ports
$ ls -ld packages
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root  wheel  13 Apr 29  2001 packages -> i386/packages
$ cd i386/
$ ls -ld packages
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root  wheel  15 Apr 29  2001 packages -> packages-stable
$ ls -ld packages-stable
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root  wheel  17 Apr 29  2001 packages-stable -> packages-4-stable
$ ls -ld packages-4-stable
drwxrwxr-x  74 asami  archive  1536 Jan  9 06:17 packages-4-stable
