trouble with IPv6 address with pkg_add(1)
Hi all, When using PKG_PATH=ftp://ftp.freenet.de/pub/ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/snapshots/packages/i386 with pkg_add(1), updating package with sudo pkg_add -ui -F update -F updatedepends fails, saying no package in PKG_PATH. When using PKG_PATH=ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/snapshots/packages/i386, everything work fine. As both path includes exactly the same packages, I expect there is a trouble with IPv6 adress (I go through a IPv4 NAT-box, and my LAN is IPv4-only) : $ host ftp.freenet.de ftp.freenet.de is an alias for ftp-0.freenet.de. ftp-0.freenet.de has address 194.97.2.67 ftp-0.freenet.de has address 194.97.2.68 ftp-0.freenet.de has address 194.97.2.69 ftp.freenet.de is an alias for ftp-0.freenet.de. ftp-0.freenet.de has IPv6 address 2001:748:100:50::3 ftp-0.freenet.de has IPv6 address 2001:748:100:50::4 ftp-0.freenet.de has IPv6 address 2001:748:100:50::5 ftp.freenet.de is an alias for ftp-0.freenet.de. and $ host ftp.openbsd.org ftp.openbsd.org is an alias for openbsd.sunsite.ualberta.ca. openbsd.sunsite.ualberta.ca has address 129.128.5.191 ftp.openbsd.org is an alias for openbsd.sunsite.ualberta.ca. ftp.openbsd.org is an alias for openbsd.sunsite.ualberta.ca. I don't want' to waste OpenBSD mainsite bandwidth :) I suppose I can find a work-around with FETCH_CMD, but it's against OpenBSD it-just-works spirit... Note : uname -a is OpenBSD beasty.etherspace.run 4.0 GENERIC#1237 i386 Best regards, Bruno.

Have you tried adding a slash, as stated in man 1 pkg_add, to the PKG_PATH? like PKG_PATH=ftp://ftp.freenet.de/pub/ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/snapshots/packages/i386/ so long, Marcus.

I'm updating... :) But I don't think the backslash is the problem, as in second case, everything works fine (without backslash)... very likely these are different ftp-servers (application) with differnt configurations = different behavior. so long, Marcus.

Have you tried adding a slash, as stated in man 1 pkg_add, to the PKG_PATH? You are right : adding an ending slash did the trick. Thank you and sorry for the noise...
