I had the exact same problem upgrading 7.0-RELEASE to 7.1-RELEASE. It took 5 tries to get all the files to download and apply. Definitely something squirrelly there. Updating to patch levels however works flawlessly. One question After the upgrade, the /var/db/freebsd-update was filled with about 500MB of .gz files.

My apologies to the list. Mail.app and Gmail IMAP don't play well together. Apparently every time Mail.app auto saves a draft copy, gmail sends the email.
