Yes, that works. Except that I get the situation that I want to avoid: missing dependencies. That's why I want that 2nd FTP site in my PKG_PATH: parsing postfix-2.3.2 Dependencies for postfix-2.3.2 resolve to: pcre-6.4p1 (todo: pcre-6.4p1) Error from ftp://192.168.3.11/OpenBSD/4.0/packages/: 550 Failed to open file. postfix-2.3.2:Can't find pcre-6.4p1 /usr/sbin/pkg_add: pcre-6.4p1:Fatal error Thanks for any help.
Yeah... I think I tried to do something like this too (not with a local mirror, but with multiple mirrors) and it never worked. Wait, I'm silly, I know what's wrong. You're misreading the error messages (pkg_add doesn't make errors too readable). The "error from" is being given by ftp(1), but it's ignorable. The next error is from pkg_add and it's saying that you haven't been specific enough: there's more than one possible package. Use the -i flag (I always run `pkg_add -iv ...`) to make it prompt you for which. -Nick
