One final follow-up in case you are not subscribed to the sbopkg mailing
list.  The reason why we got different results is that I initially
tested it on my -current x86_64 setup and the faenza-xfce source
downloads and sbopkg builds it and it installs fine.  But at work, on my
13.37 box, I had the same odd result that you reported.  Mauro Giachero
found a possible workaround using the --content-disposition wget flag,
so it appears that wget wassn't parsing the download correctly.  Perhaps
something changed in wget's parsing ability that fixed this download
issue on -current.  13.37 shipped with wget 1.12 and -current has
1.13.4.

Ok, I'll shut up about this now on this list and continue on
sbopkg-users. ;-)
