Hi all,

When using 
PKG_PATH=ftp://ftp.freenet.de/pub/ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/snapshots/packages/i386
with pkg_add(1), updating package with "sudo pkg_add -ui -F update -F
updatedepends" fails, saying "no package in PKG_PATH". When using
PKG_PATH=ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/snapshots/packages/i386,
everything work fine. As both path includes exactly the same packages,
I expect there is a trouble with IPv6 adress (I go through a IPv4
NAT-box, and my LAN is IPv4-only) :

$ host ftp.freenet.de
ftp.freenet.de is an alias for ftp-0.freenet.de.
ftp-0.freenet.de has address 194.97.2.67
ftp-0.freenet.de has address 194.97.2.68
ftp-0.freenet.de has address 194.97.2.69
ftp.freenet.de is an alias for ftp-0.freenet.de.
ftp-0.freenet.de has IPv6 address 2001:748:100:50::3
ftp-0.freenet.de has IPv6 address 2001:748:100:50::4
ftp-0.freenet.de has IPv6 address 2001:748:100:50::5
ftp.freenet.de is an alias for ftp-0.freenet.de.

and

$ host ftp.openbsd.org
ftp.openbsd.org is an alias for openbsd.sunsite.ualberta.ca.
openbsd.sunsite.ualberta.ca has address 129.128.5.191
ftp.openbsd.org is an alias for openbsd.sunsite.ualberta.ca.
ftp.openbsd.org is an alias for openbsd.sunsite.ualberta.ca.

I don't want' to waste OpenBSD mainsite bandwidth :)

I suppose I can find a work-around with FETCH_CMD, but it's against
OpenBSD "it-just-works" spirit...

Note : uname -a is OpenBSD beasty.etherspace.run 4.0 GENERIC#1237 i386

Best regards,

Bruno.
