So, it seems very likely that all my problems were caused by this one corrupt library. I went on and installed the latest available version from FreeBSD ports, which is 2.5.1p3. We'll see how tonight's run goes.

Tonight's run was fine, except that I had failed to specify the correct gnutar-listdir to the port and hence all my incremental dumps were actually fulls, since previous gnutar-lists were not found.

To remedy this situation, I removed the amanda-client and amanda-server ports once again, in order to reinstall them with correct gnutar-listdir. And when removing the port, I again got the same error message about the same file:

pkg_delete: '/usr/local/lib/libamandad.a' fails original MD5 checksum - not deleted.

Having exactly the same library to go corrupt during two compilations of Amanda seems too much to be just a coincidence. The box generally seems healthy, there are no random signal 11-s or other common indications of faulty hardware. This is really a mystery.
