bug#36127: 26.1, openbsd-6.5; org-9.2.3 package fails to install

[Van L]

Hello,

On a newly configured OS with basic emacs settings in ~/.emacs.d/init.el the 
following packages do install: which-key, hyperbole.

M-x list-packages updates the ~/.emacs.d/init.el with

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(package-initialize)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

But, the Org Mode package fails to install leaving a mention of 
'https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/org-9.2.3.tar' in the messages area where it is 
stuck in the muck.

After installing wget, I am able  

  wget https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/org-9.2.3.tar

to download ok.
