I misread this part, it actually checks that there is a trailing / on the 
source; so any `installpath` urls have to be of the form `http://server/path/` 
, and NOT `http://server/path` or `http://server`.

Feature #16752: Enhance OpenBSD package provider to use pkg.conf(5)

On OpenBSD it's possible to create a file called /etc/pkg.conf which lists paths
from which to install packages from. When a PKG_PATH is not set, pkg_add will
look in /etc/pkg.conf and use the path found there.

Currently the OpenBSD package provider in Puppet needs to have 'source' set and
will ignore /etc/pkg.conf, the attach patch adjusts this behavior. If no no 
'source'
was explicitly set, then /etc/pkg.conf will be consulted.

This patch was agreed upon by the maintainer of the puppet package in OpenBSD.
