slink gives errors installing gimp-manual_1.0.0-1.deb

[Zack Brown <zbrown@lynx.neu.edu>]

I've downloaded gimp-manual_1.0.0-1.deb three times, and each time it failed
to install due to errors. At least the last two time, the download gave the
same file, which leads me to believe it's not ftp corruption. Here's a
couple samples:

# dpkg -D1 -i gimp-manual_1.0.0-1.deb

Unpacking gimp-manual (from gimp-manual_1.0.0-1.deb) ...
