Or, maybe (and I'm just guessing here)...  It might have had something
to do with what I said when I responded to your email an hour-and-a-half
before this message from Igor "I immediately respond to every message
without checking for any other responses" Pechtchanski.

To quote:

*** I repackaged some of the X .tar.bz2 yesterday to potentially work around

*** So, this is consistent with the symptoms of trying to install one of

*** So, the solution is "try again".

So, this isn't very mysterious at all.
