There is still a problem with lynx in OpenBSD 5.8, and it sounds related to this issue, as it's complaining that the appropriate version number can't be found.
I downloaded ports.tar.gz today (dated August 10th, 2015), and building firefox fails because lynx can't be built -- there's a 404 error while it's trying to download the specified version number. I'm rather new to OpenBSD, so how do I get a fresher copy of either... - the ports archive - the makefile for lynx in /usr/ports - lynx so that the build system will recognize it as having been installed ...?
