I then installed the latest update with freebsd-update and it went well without any warnings.

Cheers, Matthew I use the default kernel, on changes whatsoever. I haven't changed anything. I installed the sources because it was needed for VirtualBox, I think. I didn't install all sources only what was needed. I've not touched /etc/frebsd-update.conf at all.

freebsd-update install question
When I do freebsd-update install I get this error: Installing updates...install: ///usr/src/lib/libc/gen/libc_dlopen.c: No such file or directory I think it's because I do not have all sources installed. So I just want to confirm that it's the case. Also, should I care and install the source needed?
