That's odd.  The version in the netbsd-1-6 should be 6.01, as I haven't yet
updated the pkgsrc ghostscript to the 7.x release.  Are you using one of
the test packages provided in a PR or by another NetBSD user?  Packages
that are actually maintained within pkgsrc should have backup distfiles
on ftp.netbsd.org so that we almost always have a fallback for fetching
distfiles when the main site is down.

I don't think I've seen this problem recently, but you may want to check
on tech-pkg@netbsd.org to see if others have seen the same problem.  If so,
then this is definitely worthy of a PR.
