    Thanks for this. It prompted me to try again. I think I must have been using a
    bad example - for a package that doesn't exist. I ascribed the failure to IPv6,
    but when I give a good path, the ftp falls back to IPv4 quickly and things work
    fine. So I'll leave it alone...

    (I'd like to have pf, but my rules are pretty simple, I'll figure out how
    translate.)
