It might have been a side effect.  Not sure why ipssvc would cause an
installation problem but you never know.  Also when I was installing
from xmission.com I noticed that openssh was missing and it was never
missing before.

Anyway I guess I'll try xmission.com again another time when I'm
feeling more courageous. :-)
