Default Installing MySQL package

Hey all I'm having a little trouble installing a MySQL database. This is what I tried...
Code:
 export PKG_PATH=ftp://mirror.planetunix.net/pub/OpenBSD/4.9/packages/`machine -a`

pkg_add -v mysql-server mysql-client
and this is what I get
Code:
Unknown element: @rcscript /etc/rc.d/mysqld in SCALAR(0x865acd50),  at /usr/libdata/perl5/OpenBSD/PackingList.pm line 355, <$fh> line 455.
can anyone tell me what this means, or what I did wrong. Thx.

A week ago you were running 4.8. If you are still running 4.8, your PKG_PATH is wrong. You cannot use 4.9 packages on a 4.8 system. Read FAQ 15.4.1.

When you upgraded, did you happen to forget to merge 4.9's architectural changes into your system as described in the Upgrade Guide: 4.8 to 4.9? The /etc/rc.d/ directory didn't appear until 4.9.

Use sysmerge(8). See the Finals Steps section of http://www.openbsd.org/faq/upgrade49.html
