Hello Nan, you need to set the PKG_path as Stuart suggested to install packages using
pkg_add command for example to use fastly cdn mirror you would set your pkg_path variable as shown below export PKG_PATH=https://fastly.cdn.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/$(uname -r)/packages/$(uname -p)/ /etc/installurl file is for the syspatch utility to install binary patches for the release if you are using current ... Packages are less straight forward as packages and current are modified regularly updated so if you go to install a package from today on a current snapshot from 1 week ago it is not guaranteed to work i believe there are few ways around this 1) install the packages that you expect to use on current as soon as possible after install 2) if you must use that version of current for some reason ... when downloading the current install iso / install image, download the contents of the entire package directory for current also. (on the same day ) your millage on this will vary depending on what work is being done on the tree at the time and if anyone else uses a better way id love to know also I hope this helps On 7 July 2018 at 15:26, Nan Xiao <xiaonan830...@gmail.com> wrote: > HI Stuart, > > Thanks for your reply! > > I don't set PKG_PATH environment. > > Yes, it seems I installed the current package: > $ ls -l /usr/local/bin/egdb > -rwxr-xr-x 1 root bin 10040410 Jun 28 19:03 /usr/local/bin/egdb > > But I can't remember what I have done.
