OpenBSD pkg_info not finding package?

I can see that the UniFi port is present this ports list. However, running pkg_info -Q unifi yields no results.

How do I determine why this is occurring?

I tested with pkg_info -Q unzip and it responds fine:

system# whoami
root
system# pkg_info -Q unifi
system# pkg_info -Q unzip
unzip-6.0p14
unzip-6.0p14-iconv
system#
Solution

  • Just learned that some ports (like UniFi) are not distributed with the base system. In order to add these types of packages, the ports tree needs to be configured.
