Re: What does it mean this error when I try install a package?

[Ron Georgia]

Ajitabh,
Could you copy and paste the /etc/installurl here? I can try to do the same 
thing on my PC to see if I get the same error.
Normally I simply pkg_add python, then pick the version I want to install, as 
was already suggested. I run python 2.7 and 3.6 on all my machines. I typically 
do not follow the suggestion from the pkg_info exactly. I usually create a 
/usr/local/bin/python2 and python3 to cover my pythonic cravings. Actually, the 
best way to develop using python is to use their virtual environment. My 
experience is that OpenBSD has provided an excellent platform for your python 
development experience.
I know I did not explain ‘why’ you could not install python-2.7.13p0.tgz, but 
hopefully you have enough to install and start coding. Love python.

To find your DUID use doas disklabel sd1. You will have a multiline
output with one line similar to: duid: 3e35f72eb60d84ba. That is what
you will use in your /etc/fstab.
However I would strongly recommend reading the man page. I find having
the man page in a readable, scrollable format helpful. Check out
http://man.openbsd.org/?query=disklabel.
Also the FAQ is very helpful. http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq14.html

I'm new to participating in the mailing list AND to using mutt, so
forgive me if I step into the wrong sandbox.
