Originally that fxa.org archive was just a mirror of an archive on my
local system. In all the flailing and frustration trying to get
mirroring working (with .listing files), I must have deleted the local
archive which had been my default archive.

It is quite possible that the wxruby archive is damaged and invalid,
since it was created with an earlier copy of arx and hasn't been touched
recently. It's also just a throwaway scratch archive, so I should
probably delete it.

Ok.
