Could you elaborate on this, since that was my first thought how to do it, but it didn't work (and doesn't), do I need a special -F flag? setenv PKG_PATH $OBSD_FTP/snapshots/packages/i386/ setenv PKG_CACHE $HOME Results in: /usr/sbin/pkg_add should be run as root parsing kdebase-3.5.3 Can't install kdebase-3.5.3 because of conflicts (kdebase-3.5.1p4) /usr/sbin/pkg_add: kdebase-3.5.3:Fatal error This is on an amd64 3_9_STABLE machine.
