Below is the root environment variables and the installation of bash on an OpenBSD 5.5-stable host: # env | grep PKG_PATH PKG_PATH=http://mirror.internode.on.net/pub/OpenBSD/5.5/packages/amd64/ # pkg_add -v bash Update candidates: quirks-1.113 -> quirks-1.113 (ok) Shell /usr/local/bin/bash appended to /etc/shells bash-4.2.45p0: ok # Please note, that is a mirror near me and not necessarily the closest one to you. Ensure that you select a public HTTP from here ( http://www.openbsd.org/ftp.html#http). This is the source of documentation you should really be reading on the OpenBSD package installation (or the man page) http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq15.html#PkgMgmt On a side note, you aren't using FTP by any chance?
