Comment:

 OK, it looks like what's going on here is that the buildbot is running on
 a case-sensitive filesystem (right?), so it's producing an openssl archive
 that contains both `BN_print.3ssl.gz` and `bn_print.3ssl.gz`, and lists
 both in the +CONTENTS. When it gets untarred on a case-insensitive
 filesystem, only one of those files exists. But they're both listed in
 +CONTENTS, so when it comes time to activate the second one it won't
 exist.

 This can probably also be considered a bug in the openssl port (which
 manpage does it install on a case-insensitive FS, anyway? Looks like
 bn_print.3ssl...), but even so the archive installation shouldn't fail
 this way on a case-insensitive FS. I'm sure openssl and ncurses aren't the
 only ports with this issue. At the least, a more informative error message
 would help.
