I am unable to install the Passivetex application. The same errors arise
with FreeBSD 4.9 as well as with FreeBSD 5.1.

Trying to install binary results to:

su-2.05b# pkg_add -r passivetex
Error: FTP Unable to get
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-5.1-release/Latest/passivetex.tbz:
Connection reset by peer pkg_add: unable to fetch
'ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-5.1-release/Latest/passivetex.tbz'
by URL su-2.05b#

Installation from ports doesn't give better results

su-2.05b# cd /usr/ports/print/passivetex/ su-2.05b# make install clean

Stop in /usr/ports/print/passivetex.
