This past weekend I attempted and update on my FreeBSD distribution, and

A number should have been here; I inserted '0'. (If you can't figure out why
I
needed to see a number, look up 'weird error' in the index to The TeXbook.)

I subsequently tried a fresh installation with the same error message.
I haven't seen mention of this elsewhere, and so am assuming that this
might be a FreeBSD specific issue?
Can you compile the binary from source (in the tree)? The freebsd vm is
not running so no bins are made,
