Folks:
Brand new to openbsd.
Just installed obsd without any of the X sets, game*, or bsd.mp
installed, on an intel pc. Every seems to be on the up and up except
that installing packges gives a fatal error, and there is nothing in
the log files to tell me anything about this particular error.
Note:
The network is up and running and I can surf with lynx
Shell is sh. I also received this error using csh
I can ftp to ftp.openbsd.org
Here are the steps I took:
#PKG_PATH=ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OPENBSD/3.7/packages/i386/
s/OPENBSD/OpenBSD and lose the trailing slash
#export PKG_PATH
#
#pkg_add snort-2.1.2.tgz
Can't find snort-2.1.2.tgz
/usr/bin/pkg_add: snort-2.1.2.tgz:Fatal error
I get this error using pkg_add as above or by prepending $PKG_PATH to
the package name:
#pkg_add ${PKG_PATH}snort-2.1.2.tgz
OR
#pkg_add
ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OPENBSD/3.7/packages/i386/snort-2.1.2.tgz
What could be the issue here.
TIA
