But it's unspecified so don't rely on that :) btw, generally ftp.openbsd.org is not the best choice - for almost all users one of the other mirrors will work better. > > $ doas pkg_add python-2.7.13p0 > > quirks-2.304 signed on 2017-04-02T15:01:33Z > > https://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/6.1/packages-stable/amd64/ > python-2.7.13p0.tgz: > > ftp: Error retrieving file: 404 Not Found > > signify: gzheader truncated > > Error text could be improved, but this error is occurring because > you > have specified a full package name including version, and that > doesn't > exist (in 6.1, it's 2.7.13p1). > > > Interesting, so when I do the following on my box, I do not see the > 2.7.13p1 there.

You don't have to do this, nothing in packages expects this, they look for the full name including version. It's only needed if you have programs from another source that expect to have the symlinks.
Re: What does it mean this error when I try install a package?
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.

Re: What does it mean this error when I try install a package?
Hi, I got a similar message when I try to install python, but upong investigating I realise that python was already installed - perhaps as a pre-requisite for glib2.

I checked the standard directory paths for mirror on OpenBSD website and this directory was not there also. Can someone help me understand why it is so, or point to some relevant document. Also, I had to run the following commands as recommended by pkg_info python $ doas ln -sf /usr/local/bin/python2.7 /usr/local/bin/python $ doas ln -sf /usr/local/bin/python2.7-2to3 /usr/local/bin/2to3 $ doas ln -sf /usr/local/bin/python2.7-config /usr/local/bin/python-config $ doas ln -sf /usr/local/bin/pydoc2.7 /usr/local/bin/pydoc Do we have any alternatives management system in OpenBSD like we have in linux or this has to be done by hand.
