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.

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.
