As I said last week, in Message-ID: <43BDBD25.4397.D39ECE@ia.stryx.demon.co.uk> - a message which I didn't see any reply to, I have this problem with both xorg-x11-{fenc,fnts}. I tried the "work-around", and I now have three (identical) copies of xorg-x11-fenc. The work-around certainly has the value of allowing you to install other packages, but doesn't get me any further forward with the failing packages. You call this a *bogus* failure, which certainly seems to be the case, since the size and md5 of the files match those in setup.ini - but then I don't see how the work-around is supposed to work.
