Probably the two parallel downloads wrote to the same file,
or similar lossage. "Don't do this" :)

This has been fixed in the meantime, cvs update and it should be gone.

You're confusing two different things:
The first one is the distfile (the original file by the authors,
source code) the second is a binary package (the compiled code
for NetBSD) (and of a different version).

If you want to compile teTeX3 for yourself, just go to
/usr/pkgsrc/print/teTeX3-bin and 'make install'. Or
pkg_add ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/packages/pkgsrc-2005Q3/NetBSD-2.0/i386/All/teTeX-texmfsrc-3.0.tgz
to add the pre-compiled binary package.

I recommend reading the pkgsrc guide:
	http://www.netbsd.org/Documentation/pkgsrc/

Also, this mailing list is for mail related to pkgsrc bug reports
sent with send-pr(1), not for questions -- use tech-pkg@NetBSD.org
for that.
