on the errata page, http://www.openbsd.org/errata.html, it says:

well I apparently copied the bad versions of ports.tar.gz and src.tar.gz,
as my md5 checksums don't match. In the meantime I've built several
ports (56, to be exact), and installed all the userland patches
(httpd, ld.so, openssl), built the corresponding software, and installed it.
"were created incorrectly" is pretty vague. What is the recommended
action for someone in my position (already using the sources)? Scratch all,
re-copy, re-install, re-apply patches, re-built ports, etc?
