"Get issues" is not a valid problem report. I am getting issues with my stomach right now, but this will never tell you what is my problem. Post the exact message(s) you get. You should get something like this: $ pkg_add -vn test pkg_add should be run as root Can't find test This is telling you what to do in order to fix that "issue". > As long as I change to 'root', everything works fine! Isn't it obvious? It may sound crazy, but OpenBSD does not allow any user to install packages directly, much like Linux or Windows.
