for completeness, the root of the original issue - pkg_add not being able to install the package - was due to the packages being 0 bytes in size. I am now trying to figure out *why* they were broken [1], which seems to be connected to either symlinking /usr/ports or building ports inside a chroot environment. regards, ~Jason [1] http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-ports&m=122809247327274&w=4
