Where or how did you download pkgsrc?

I assume you retrieved a tarball of pkgsrc (current not a stable branch). 
It has been reported a few times recently that the current pkgsrc tarball 
had some errors in it.

Please consider using "cvs up -dP" to update your pkgsrc and try again. or 
consider using the stable pkgsrc instead.
