This is annoying. Every time I try to build with packages I get an error with libiconv-1.9.2p3 . Unfortunately, this failure screws up every other package I try to install

If someone could point me to the magic formula of package downloads, much appreciated. I am trying to build a box for pen testing, and will switch to a Linux variant or FreeBSD if OpenBSDs ports and packages are screwed up. It never used to be that difficult to build an OpenBSD pen test box, at least with v3.6/v3.7/v3.8 Thanks in advance for any help. Edward Ray
