certainly my fault, it should means something like:

[OpenBSD devs] prevented pkg_add(1) update to silently ignore a pkgpath problem.

Actually the idiomatic form was (for example) in plus46.html:

Prevent injection of raw 802.11 control frames through bpf(4) on devices that do not explicitly state this capability.

So maybe I just corrupted the right form. It's more a French writing
in english going wrong :) jj@ already showed me some mistake (already
about past/present), it's true I may have some difficulties.

I'll send some diffs of recent updates tonight, and could reread and
correct those parts as well. So would 'prevent pkg_add(1) update to
silently ignore a pkgpath problem.' be good ?

I thought working on the changelog would improve my OpenBSD knowledge,
acutually i'm working on improving my english too :). Never hesitate
to point weird sentences, I really would like to use correct english.

cheers,
