I'm trying to install libffi, which apparently needs a 'pyobjc-1.4.tar.gz' file to install. It's failing on the fetch as follows. Should I put a ticket in?

Based on the transcript in ticket #13287, pyobjc-1.4.tar.gz used to exist at http://pyobjc.sourceforge.net/software/ but nothing except a verbose error message exists there now. So yes, you should file a ticket and assign the ticket to the maintainer of libffi. Perhaps he can fix the py-pyobjc file while he's at it, if indeed the files need fixing (if the download location has changed). Or maybe the pyobjc web site administrators just need to be prodded into fixing their site.
