pkg_add not working propely on OpenBSD

Would like to have emacs installed on my server running OpenBSD instead of just vi, reason because I am used to emacs.



I am compleatly new to OpenBSD so I started reading the documentation, after tried pkg_add emacs, this is the result



https://cdn.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/6.4/packages-stable/amd64/: ftp: cdn.openbsd.org: no address associated with name
https://cdn.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/6.4/packages/amd64/: ftp: cdn.openbsd.org: no address associated with name
https://cdn.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/6.4/packages/amd64/: empty
Can't find emacs


So I go back to documentation, I read that



There is also an ambiguity related to ports with multiple branches.  
For instance `pkg_add python' is ambiguous, as there are several versions of
python in the ports tree. So is `pkg_add postfix'. The special form
`pkgname%branch' can be used to restrict matches to a branch matching the
pkgpath(7).

The above ambiguities can be resolved using `pkg_add postfix%stable' and
`pkg_add python%3.4', respectively.


So I try installing python3.4 using (as the documentation) pkg_add python%3.4, but get the same error as before when trying with emacs.



Now I am certain that there is something wrong in the config of pkg_add, but what? I have tried running pkg_check, but it just say everything is ok.
