Using the OpenBSD 4.0-beta (GENERIC) #1061: Mon Aug 14 20:18:26 MDT 2006 (i386) system via Upgrade. <URL:http://www.sparse.net/dmesg>
The full list of packages I have now installed is below but a few gave errors like: ---------------------------->8-------------- install-info: /usr/local/info/dir: empty file | 9% system(install-info, --info-dir=/usr/local/info, /usr/local/info/zsh.info) failed: 256 ----------------------------8<-------------- including zsh-4.2.6p0, gettext-0.14.5p1, libgcrypt-1.2.0p1, libIDL-0.8.5p0, libtool-1.5.22, glib-1.2.10p1, gtk+-1.2.10p4, wget-1.10.2p0, bison-2.1p0, gettext-0.14.5p1, gtar-1.15.1p4, gmp-4.1.4p0, gmake-3.80p1, gperf-3.0.1, aalib-1.2p0 -even if not significant, the errors look a bit untidy. No other problems so far except the usual 'Could not load the dictionary for the ... language' errors on loading documents into AbiWord. I have been using the ftp.plig.org mirror and have installed (all via packages except for those whose licence prohibits ftp distribution): (the initial binary packages were picked up from 14-16 August and remainders over the weekend as prerequisites for gutenprint, JDK build or OpenOffice).
