That is not the way pkg_add and LATEST_LINK works. If you want to install= a package that has no LATEST_LINK set you have to specify the full URL, including your OS version. LATEST_LINK actually does some useful magic, and it's basically free, sin= ce you it will only add the overhead of one inode. So NO_LATEST_LINK should only be set by ports that are not expected to be installed by package use= rs, for example because they are of highly experimental nature. -Oliver
