You obviously have a repository of packages that has various versions of
packages in there. That doesn't work well. pkg_add assumes you have a
snapshot-like structure of packages.
I don't really understand. I have a very much standard stable 4.0 and
4.1. The behaviour is the same on both, I checked both.
Both have their /usr/ports from the ports.tar.gz, with weekly updates
through
cvs -q -d [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvs up -r [version] -Pd
Or maybe you have a rather long PKG_PATH.
ftp://spargel.kd85.com/pub/OpenBSD/4.1/packages/amd64
The whole matter actually started on
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvs
with the automatic weekly ports update. It downloaded a few thousand
modifications, and in the end died horribly:
# /usr/ports/infrastructure/build/out-of-date
Make sure your ports tree is up-to-date

Only then did I try the pkg_add -u to see what actually was missing.
The result was given earlier.
I also mailed Todd, but since there was no [quick] answer, I switched to
another cvs, [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvs, and did the same thing
again (ports update). It downloaded another thousand or so files, and
now everything with /usr/ports/infrastructure/build/out-of-date is back
at normal.
Almost normal, because it tells me
# /usr/ports/infrastructure/build/out-of-date
Collecting installed packages
Collecting port versions: complete
Collecting port signatures: complete
Outdated ports:
net/pfstat,-main # gd-2.0.34 -> gd-2.0.34p1
www/webalizer # gd-2.0.34 -> gd-2.0.34p1
But pkg_add -ui is fine, and says no upgrade needed, and
cd /usr/ports/.....
make clean
make update
also returns the prompt immediately, for gd, pfstat and webalizer.
pkg_add(1) now stops at the first path element with valid candidates.
Not so fast, man pkg_add says:
-u Update the given pkgname(s), and anything it depends upon. If
no pkgname is given, pkg_add will update all installed packages.
which contradicts the FAQ, and its 'examine'
The FAQ entry is ambiguous, even though the example is clear.
