Why can't I add subversion package to my OpenBSD 4.5 machine?

Why can not add subversion package to my OpenBSD 4.5 machine?

  • I have an OpenBSD 4.5 on a virtual machine. I configured the net and my machine can connect to the OpenBSD FTP repository in Canada (ftp.openbsd.org) correctly. But when I execute this line: *pkg_add -v subversion-1.5.5* Occurs this error: Unknown element: @sha FTlY/mreDMe9nRNLR5+fSIIZWMnivjO0p83rQLSL6F0= in SCALAR(0x7deeda80), at /usr/libdata/perl5/OpenBSD/PackingList.pm line 301, line 7. Does anybody know why I cannot install this package?

  • Answer:

    I've seen this happen when using packages from a different version to the OS. The kernel, userland and packages must all be from the same version. Which includes not mixing between -RELEASE and -CURRENT (CVS HEAD or snapshots).
