European mirror (which is included in the conf file):

# European countries will prefer the following
ftp://ftp.fr.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD/i386/5.0/All

By writing it manually, it worked:
# pkgin -y in p5-Digest-MD5
...
(I lost the history in my terminal)
...
but p5-Digest-MD5-2.39 got installed as expected.

Hmm... maybe this problem is related to packages with equal name, but  
different major versions (eg. bash, apache) that I reported before:

p5-Digest-MD2-2.03nb3 Perl5 module for MD2
p5-Digest-MD4-1.5nb3 Perl5 module for MD4 hash algorithm
p5-Digest-MD5-2.39   Perl5 extension interface for MD5 algorithm
p5-Digest-MD5-File-0.07nb1 Perl5 extension for getting MD5 sums for  
files and urls

True. (however, those are the same version).

p5-Compress-Raw-Bzip2-2.023 Perl5 low-level interface to bzip2  
compression library
p5-Compress-Raw-Zlib-2.023 Perl5 module interface to the zlib  
compression library

but the apache packages doesn't end with number in the PKGNAME:

apache-1.3.42        Apache HTTP (Web) server
apache-2.0.63nb5     Apache HTTP (Web) server, version 2
apache-2.2.14        Apache HTTP (Web) server, version 2.2

Still they fail unless you specify the complete version number.
