Default Sysupdate command not working

Hi All,

Having freshly installed OpenBSD 7.2 from a .img file about a week ago I understand its good practice to check for system updates in case there's been any security patches since the release. I also understand from the manual that its just a case of typing syspatch from the command line.

However when I do that nothing obvious seems to happen. There's no error in the xterm console window but then theres no progress indicators for the various patch downloads like I see in the youtube demonstrations of this command in practice. Am I missing something?

FWIW I've got a second user account setup per the installation. I use
Code:
 su
and then
Code:
 dhclient em0
to connect to my router for internet access. This seems to work because if I use the
Code:
 ping
command for 1.1.1.1 I'm getting return packets.

But when I type syspatch and even syspatch -C to get the list of available updates I get nothing.

Similarly, pkg_add -Q or the listing command doesn't do anything other than list some intel drivers etc. that I suspect are already on the system from the base installation..

Thanks in advance for help getting this working!
