I've seen this since the new signing method has been implemented. I blamed it on something being out of date/sync on my machine, but after updating to the latest snapshot yesterday (the one from ftp.fr) it becomes clear that either something is seriously hosed on my system or there is an issue in pkg_add or signify.
I see this when calling pkg_add directly in xterm or script, but not when called inside tmux. xterm/script: natano@watschnbaum:~$ pkg_add -nuix vim quirks-2.261 signed on 2016-10-11T14:06:48Z Error from http://ftp.fr.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/snapshots/packages/amd64/vim-8.0.0004-gtk2-perl-python3-ruby.tgz signify: write to stdout: Broken pipe Error from http://ftp.fr.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/snapshots/packages/amd64/vim-8.0.0004-gtk2-lua.tgz signify: write to stdout: Broken pipe Error from http://ftp.fr.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/snapshots/packages/amd64/vim-8.0.0004-no_x11-lua.tgz signify: write to stdout: Broken pipe Error from http://ftp.fr.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/snapshots/packages/amd64/vim-8.0.0004-no_x11-perl-python3-ruby.tgz signify: write to stdout: Broken pipe Error from http://ftp.fr.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/snapshots/packages/amd64/vim-8.0.0004-no_x11-ruby.tgz signify: write to stdout: Broken pipe Error from http://ftp.fr.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/snapshots/packages/amd64/vim-8.0.0004-gtk2-perl-python-ruby.tgz signify: write to stdout: Broken pipe Error from http://ftp.fr.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/snapshots/packages/amd64/vim-8.0.0004-no_x11.tgz signify: write to stdout: Broken pipe Error from http://ftp.fr.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/snapshots/packages/amd64/vim-8.0.0004-no_x11-perl-python-ruby.tgz signify: write to stdout: Broken pipe Error from http://ftp.fr.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/snapshots/packages/amd64/vim-8.0.0004-gtk2.tgz signify: write to stdout: Broken pipe natano@watschnbaum:~$ ^D The same errors are shown when called without -inx by root. tmux: natano@watschnbaum:~$ pkg_add -nui vim quirks-2.261 signed on 2016-10-11T14:06:48Z natano@watschnbaum:~$ ^D I tried to look into this myself, but got stuck due to my non-existent perl skills. natano pkg.conf: installpath = http://ftp.fr.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/snapshots/packages/%a/ BUILDINFO: Build date: 1476119003 - Mon Oct 10 17:03:23 UTC 2016
