        Hi, I've installed OpenBSD 6.3-release for amd64 on
        virtualbox, and updated it with syspatch as of 20:40 UTC.
        pkg_info -Q seems to be failing. Specifically, I tried $
        pkg_info -Q mate ...and also as root, to remind myself what
        the metapackage is [I have a feeling it's just "mate" anyway]
        [EDIT: Metapackages? maybe I'm thinking of FreeBSD]; but:
        pkg_info -Q firefox also fails, despite the fact I just
        successfully installed Firefox. The relevant error is as

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Your PKG_PATH appears to have a couple of errors.

https://cloudflare.cdn.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/6.3/packages/amd64

and I can't remember but it may need to end with a `/'

        Can't locate object method "syslog" via package
        "OpenBSD::PkgInfo::State" at
        /usr/libdata/perl5/OpenBSD/PackageRepository.pm
        <http://PackageRepository.pm> line 302, <$fh> line 3. Thanks,
Jeff.

    I suspect its because

    https://cloudflare.cdn.openbsd/org/pub/OpenBSD/6.3/packages-stable/amd64

    doesn't exist or is down.

    It exists, and is unlikely to be a transient error,

    because I tried it several times, and as I said,  was able

    to download software even though I couldn't query it.

    (I subsequently found a YouTube tutorial which listed

    most of the packages in your message.)

    I will try again, and/or with a different mirror in

    the morning.

    Jeff
