Hi po...@!

I'm running OpenBSD 4.4 release and I think I have found a problem with pkg_add
(8) or with a local mirror here in Germany.

In my .profile I have set PKG_PATH to

ftp://ftp.freenet.de/pub/ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/4.4/packages/i386/.

This is the next mirror to my hometown.

After that I have logged out and in again and I have set a .Xdefaults with
"XTerm*loginShell: true".

But when I try to add a package this happens:

# pkg_add -i fluxbox /{just an example!}/
Can't resolve fluxbox

Only when I add the full path to pkg_add it works:
# pkg_add -i ftp://ftp.freenet.de/pub/ftp.openbsd...0.9.15.1p1.tgz
bzip2-1.0.5: complete
libid3tag-0.15.1bp0: complete
libungif-4.1.4p1: complete
imlib2-1.4.0p0: complete
fluxbox-0.9.15.1p1: complete

The funny thing: When I try a different mirror, pkg_add works with the PKG_PATH in my .profile.

With:

export PKG_PATH=ftp://openbsd.ftp.fu-berlin.de/pub/OpenBSD/4.4/packages/i386/

in my .profile it works:

# pkg_add -i xpdf
t1lib-5.1.0p1: complete
ghostscript-fonts-8.11p0: complete
xpdf-utils-3.02pl2p1: complete
openmotif-2.3.0p0: complete
xpdf-3.02pl2p4: complete

So, is this a problem with the mirror or with pkg_add? Just ask if you need
further information.

Thanks,
Axel
