When upgrading to a new snapshot, the "Fetching from ..." etc. is still shown. It may be enough with adding a small additional explanaiton of the failure of fetching the release signature as per my previous mail. That way, moving between snapshots and to the next release would produce similar output. That is, when the next release is not available: Fetching from https://cdn.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/6.8/amd64/ sysupgrade: Error retrieving https://cdn.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/6.8/amd64/SHA256.sig: 404 Not Found The next release is not avaiable. -- Andreas (Kusalananda) Kähäri SciLifeLab, NBIS, ICM Uppsala University, Sweden .
