Some OpenBSD mirrors don't seem to work with pkg_add because their directory listings have more attributes in their "a" tags than just "href". For example, at least these two mirrors throw errors:
https://mirror.esc7.net/pub/OpenBSD https://mirror.leaseweb.com/pub/OpenBSD An example of the error message seen when trying to run pkg_add: https://mirror.leaseweb.com/pub/OpenBSD/6.1/packages/amd64/quirks-2.304.tgz"; title="quirks-2.304.tgz: ftp: Error retrieving file: 404 Not Found As you can see, the problem comes from the extra "title" tag, which the esc7.net mirror also adds. The Perl scripts that scrape directory listings use a regex that searches until the end of the tag (">") instead of the end of the href. Changing them to look at just the href instead of the entire tag fixes the problem, though I don't know enough of the history of why they were made this way to say whether this is the right solution: (diffs against -current) # pkg_add/OpenBSD/PackageRepository.pm 898c898 < for my $pkg (m/\<A\s+HREF=\"(.*?\.tgz)\"\>/gio) { --- > for my $pkg (m/\<A\s+HREF=\"(.*?\.tgz)\"/gio) { # pkg_add/OpenBSD/PackageRepository/HTTP.pm 915c915 < for my $pkg ($r =~ m/\<A\s+HREF=\"(.+?)\.tgz\"\>/gio) { --- > for my $pkg ($r =~ m/\<A\s+HREF=\"(.+?)\.tgz\"/gio) { Has anybody else been stung by this?
