Re: PKG_PATH

I run 'pkg_add' with 'doas' and I get only: Can't find [the package] I try to install. Doesn't say anything about 'root'. Also, why 'pkg_add' has to be run as root only? In previous OpenBSD version this wasn't the case. Is that due to 'doas'? Thank you On Thu, Apr 7, 2016 at 11:17 PM, Mihai
