Okay, so I understand that the problem is there because of the filename. 'agent.tgz' is a virtual file, calls to which are redirected by AWS via HTTP 301. Currently this redirects to '10bees-1.1.55.20.tgz' but that changes often, sometimes daily. So, answering your question - I want to install the package that 'agent.tgz' redirects to. I understand pkg_add's fears about the fact, that it thought it was installing 'agent.tgz' and now it sees '10bees-1.1.55.20.tgz'. In general, I want to find out if there is a simple way to have an universal install command that will always be valid. I wanted to avoid monsters like "ftp http://{$REDIRECT} | sed ${EXTRACT_FILENAME} | pkg_add ${FILENAME}". But, if OpenBSD's policy absolutely forbids any other way - so be it. Best regards, ML
