<This is quite clear. It can't install libiconv because it conflicts with the partial- package it told you that it installed above. <Delete the partial- package, figure out what's really wrong (if anything), and try again.
What is really wrong is that the "pkg_add whateverpackage" hangs in the middle of the ftp download. I usually wait 6-8 hours before cancelling it. I am on a cable modem connection so there is no problem with speed; I believe bandwidth constriction at the ftp.openbsd.org site is the problem. I cannot "pkg_add" any other package until this download is complete. Rather than waiting another 6-8 hours I cancel the download which causes the partial... To be created pkg_delete does not always work in completely removing the packages. Later packages fail to install due to dependencies on the package that failed. This new method of installing packages sucks IMHO. Ports is much better, because at least it goes to sites which I can download packages from. Is their any way to get the packages other than CD (which has very little packages) or ftp.openbsd.org (which has poor bandwidth)?
