Hello all I'm two day new to OpenBSD but 8 years old to Linux world.
Yesterday I've successfully got running OpenBSD 4.2 under VMware server. Due to limitation on internet channel bandwidth i decided install only required packages and skip recommended. Later I tried to install bash from ports and from packages but without any luck. In both cases installation process was stopped on resolving dependencies for the gettext packages. After some researches i found that gettext depends on the expat library but did not found it on my system, among packages. Only reference in ports. I tried to build expat from ports but after make i got. "===> expat-2.0.0p0 -- expat comes with OpenBSD as of release 4.2." I was weird for me because of I did not found expat on the system and on the packages. I tried to find something via google and get link to the article on upgrade from OpenBSD 4.1 to OpenBSD 4.2. Where was noticed that expat now is located in xbase42.tgz packages which was in recommended section. I think that such behavior of the installer could be treated like a bug and package xbase42 should be moved to required section or at least in the installation documents should be described such trouble. What do you think about? Thanks in advance Kyrylo Klimakov NIK-HDL KK2640-RIPE
