I assume the pkg_summary(5) database was created using a repo of packages that included some packages not allowed to be served. The problem package was either removed or at least not uploaded. So the list of available packages doesn't match. I didn't look at old email in this thread to see what repo has problem. But I have a few scripts to check sanity of the repo and see many potential problems, including: http://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/misc/reed/pkgsrc-package-sanity/missing-or-old-pkg_summary.txt See http://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/misc/reed/pkgsrc-package-sanity/README for some details
