BSDSUM          base.tgz        kern.tgz        xbase.tgz@ xserver.tgz
CKSUM           comp.tgz        man.tgz         xcomp.tgz@
MD5             etc.tgz         misc.tgz        xcontrib.tgz@
SYSVSUM         games.tgz@      text.tgz@       xfont.tgz@

Beyond the fact that some of those are sym links into
../../../m68k/binary/sets, I don't see what the problem is. They sure
look like .tgz files to me.
