Hello Misc, I am configuring a couple of laptops for my kids, i had installed 70 with i3 and gcompris in them, its been a while since the last update so i decided to make a fresh install.
So I installed 74 in both of them, used the autoinstall so the process was straightforward as always, rebooted, hw_update, syspatch, everything as expected. The problem comes when trying to install a package, i am trying just to of them: feh and gcompris, in both laptops, and i get the following errors, they are several since i do a few tries and then the problem goes and comes at different packages pkg_add: Ustar [package name, it is different every try, meaning lcms2-2.15.tgz, gstreamer, libass-] [?]: Error while reading header https://cdn.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/7.4/packages/amd64/lame-3.100p1.tgz: Read short file My configuration are: 1 laptop, re0, trying pkg_add feh 1 laptop, iwn0, trying pkg_add gcompris both with the same results, maybe i should try in another LAN, but could it be a problem with the CDN server ? Thank you for your time, -- Manuel Solis >> Hello, I'm new to openBSD about 3 days old. and I ran into the same issue as you. I would pkg_add something and I kept getting the header message. someone on IRC helped me Simple. change the cdn to another mirror look at https://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq15.html#Mirror Basically You find a mirror probably ftp like I did go to vim or nano /etc/installurl delete the cdn add another mirror and re-run the pkg_add you might need to pkg_delete the partial and then re-run. pkg_add After all that you might need pkg_add -u to see if the new mirror fixes all the other partials Hope this helps ~ Joe B
