Did you read pkg_add(1)? '-F' requires _keywords_, not package names, as its option. > # echo $PKG_PATH > ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/3.9/packages/i386/ > # > # pkg_add -uF mozilla-firefox-1.5.0.1 pkg_add understands 'mozilla*' as the argument to '-F' here; since it's not a valid keyword, it tries to update all your packages (hence the 'Candidates...' stuff). Use '-i' to manually select from a list of possible candidates to resolve the 'Ambiguous...' warnings. > # Candidates for updating clamav-0.88 -> clamav-0.88 clamav-0.88.2 > ksh: Candidates: not found What are you doing here? > # Ambiguous: clamav-0.88 could be clamav-0.88 clamav-0.88.2 > ksh: Ambiguous:: not found And here? This is all very straightforward and, more importantly, spelled out very explicitly in pkg_add(1). Read it. -- o--------------------------{ Will Maier }--------------------------o | jabber:[EMAIL PROTECTED] | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | freenode:..............lt_kije | freenode:........#madlug,#wilug | *------------------[ BSD Unix: Live Free or Die ]------------------*
