Hello Rob, please read http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq15.html. In addition what does this command print? $ env |grep PKG_PATH *Hint it's covered in here* http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq15.html#Easy. Yet another hint: http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq15.html#PkgInstall. And finally the answer, you must use the absolute path when installing packages without the PKG_PATH set. Regards, Ville
Re: PkgCheck.pm can't locate new
Hello Rob, from pkg_add(1) PKG_PATH If a given package name cannot be found, the directories named by PKG_PATH are searched. It should contain a series of entries separated by colons. Each entry consists of a directory name. URL schemes such as FTP, HTTP, HTTPS, or SCP are also appropriate. The current directory may be indicated implicitly by an empty directory name, or explicitly by a single period (`./'). from pkg.conf(5) installpath URL to package repository updated during installation. Used for accessing packages if the environment variable PKG_PATH is not defined and no further options are defined.

Bye, Marcus The url usage in pkg_add has a few issues those WON'T be fixed before 5.5. Eventually, it should work much better.

(when pkg_check finds some files that don't belong to any package, it should go recheck thru pkglocatedb where those are supposed to live---this is most often due to fsck issues where files are there but not registered and pkg_check will use pkglocatedb to locate the packages it should repair)

I never said Url over the net. Local files also have urls. Is is something I could do simply, by downloading it on another machine and running some command? Just set your PKG_PATH, it can point to local dirs.
