$(pkg_info | grep partial) should verify that partial-libiconv-1.9.2p3 is installed. You should use pkg_delete to get rid of the partial- package (and figure out what you did to cause pkg_add to fail). > ksh: bash: not found > # pkg_add amap-5.2.tgz > Error from ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/3.9/packages/i386/: > Unknown command. > amap-5.2:pcre-6.4p1: complete > > amap-5.2: complete OK... > # pkg_add nmap-3.95p0.tgz > Error from ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/3.9/packages/i386/: > Unknown command. > Can't install libiconv-1.9.2p3 because of conflicts > (partial-libiconv-1.9.2p3) > /usr/sbin/pkg_add: libiconv-1.9.2p3:Fatal error # pkg_add wget-1.10.2p0.tgz > Error from ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/3.9/packages/i386/: > Unknown command. > Can't install libiconv-1.9.2p3 because of conflicts > (partial-libiconv-1.9.2p3) > /usr/sbin/pkg_add: libiconv-1.9.2p3:Fatal error This is quite clear. It can't install libiconv because it conflicts with the partial- package it told you that it installed above. Delete the partial- package, figure out what's really wrong (if anything), and try again. > My only choice appears to be rebuild, which I have done three > times now. Rebuild what? libiconv? pkg_add will fetch dependencies for you. If you're having trouble with ports, stop using them (except for the very few cases where licensing dictates otherwise). > If someone could point me to the magic formula of package > downloads, much appreciated. pkg_add(1), pkg_delete(1), the FAQ. > 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.

Make sure your kernel and userland are up to date, and use packages. It's easy. -- o--------------------------{ Will Maier }--------------------------o | web:.......http://www.lfod.us/ | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | *------------------[ BSD Unix: Live Free or Die ]------------------*
