Hi: I am really a newbie on OpenBSD. So my question might look stupid to you.
I am using the current release 4.6 installed from the file install46.iso on ftp://openbsd.ftp.fu-berlin.de/pub/OpenBSD/4.6/i386/ Have anyone encountered any problem using pkg_info, pkg_add, etc.? They do not seem working to me. Take a simplest example, when I checked pkg_info, the man page says: ... -A Show information for all currently installed packages, including internal packages ... but when I typed "pkg_info -A", it does not return anything. Just silently back to the commond line prompt. Similarly, "-a" does not work either. I also tryed "pkg_info man46.tgz", "pkg_info -L man46.tgz" and none of them gave me any response. (with man46.tgz in the current directory) For pkg_add, I tried the following command: pkg_add man46.tgz (again, man46.tgz is in the current directory) and it responded: Can't resolve man46.tgz and pkg_add man46 (with "export PKG_PATH=/mnt/cdrom/4.6/i386") and it responded: Can't find CONTENTS from file:/mnt/cdrom/4.6/i386/man46.tgz /usr/sbin/pkg_add: man46: Fatal error and another try: pkg_add ./man46 gives similar response: Can't find CONTENTS from file:./man46.tgz /usr/sbin/pkg_add: man46: Fatal error It seems like man46.tgz has a wrong format (with missing CONTENTS?) but all the other .tgz files on the CD (from install46.iso) have the same problem. In addition, it seems that "pkg_add ./man46" is more like the correct command than "pkg_add man46.tgz". However, "man packages" says: ---- ... Adding a new package is as simple as pkg_add foo-1.0-vanilla.tgz ---- So I am quite confused (regarding the suffix .tgz, keep it or not?). How should we really use the command pkg_info and pkg_add? Are the manuals up-to-date? These problems are not critical problems since we can probably just go through the scripts of these commands and see what's inside and maybe there is just a easy way to fix it. My question is, however, 1) Did I get the corrent release file? The sha sum of my iso matches the key listed on their web (d53855c34bfa2d7b46f643ca4de8cc55debd8524) but I have not checked other sites yet. 2) The usage of pkg_add and pkg_info seems to be different from the FreeBSD version. And OpenBSD seems also using its own set of basic commands like cp instead of GNU set. So I wonder maybe I missed something basic for OpenBSD users? 3) are such problems common to OpenBSD users and how people usually solve such problems? Built-in manual (seems not very reliable to me) or search the web? It seems a little annoying to get stucked with such basic things. Any comments on the specific package problems or the above general questions on OpenBSD are much appreciated. Thanks. Best, Song ps. even though I do not think it's relevant to dmesg output, I think it does not hurt so I still paste it here: ========= dmesg ================ OpenBSD 4.6 (GENERIC.MP) #89: Thu Jul 9 21:32:39 MDT 2009 dera...@i386.openbsd.org:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/GENERIC.MP cpu0: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T9300 @ 2.50GHz ("GenuineIntel" 686-class) 2.50 GHz cpu0: FPU,V86,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,APIC,SEP,MTRR,PGE,MCA,CMOV,PAT,PSE36,CFLUSH,DS,ACPI,MMX,FXSR,SSE,SSE2,SS,HTT,TM,SBF,SSE3,MWAIT,DS-CPL,VMX,EST,TM2,CX16,xTPR real mem = 3756036096 (3582MB) avail mem = 3647295488 (3478MB) mainbus0 at root bios0 at mainbus0: AT/286+ BIOS, date 11/19/08, BIOS32 rev. 0 @ 0xffa10, SMBIOS rev. 2.4 @ 0xf71e0 (45 entries) bios0: vendor Dell Inc. version "A12" date 11/19/2008 bios0: Dell Inc.
