The file sets that are used to install OpenBSD are not packages even
though they end in the "tgz" extension. Thus, pkg_add doesn't know what
to do with it. Try a command like this instead:
# cd /
# tar -xvpzf /home/music/xbase39.tgz
The -v is optional, but make sure you include -p to preserve
permissions. The tar command should be run from the root directory
(unless you also use the -C switch).
