>Description:
When rebuilding mplayer-share, I noticed the process was trying to download MPlayer-1.0pre1.tar.bz2.  Hmm..  I already have that.

A closer look showed me that the package NOW wants to download to distfiles/mplayer-1.0rc1/ rather than distfiles/mplayer.  A closer look at output from lintpkgsrc -i showd this:

  Version mismatch: 'mplayer-share' 1.0rc1nb1 vs 1.0rc1

To which I said "Wha????"

Was a fix for something submitted and then retracted but broke something else in the process?
>How-To-Repeat:
Assuming you've previously built and installed mplayer and mplayer-share for this nb1 version, try to rebuild mplayer-share.  Watch as stuff gets needlessly redownloaded.
>Fix:
Seems to me like a chain of blunders in (a) Makefile(s) somewhere.
