Looking, I am not at the latest version. Trying to upgrade to the latest 
version breaks things (ssh is the main thing, missing libssh.so.5 errors). 
Ignoring the breakage, I get the same errors. Using the freebsd-update script 
from the latest 9.2 doesn't help.

I am guessing a rebuild of the system is necessary. That may have to wait for 
another day.  Thankfully, I can rollback.

freebsd-update upgrading 9.2 -> 9.3

2015-06-14 Thread Dave Duchscher
Trying to upgrade a system from 9.2 -> 9.3 with freebsd-update and I get the 
output below.  Search has seen reports but not solutions.  I also tried 
upgrading to 10.1 and seeing similar issue those the "No such file or 
directory" error only shows up once but is asking for me to manually merge lots 
of unmodified files in /etc.

Anybody have a clue on what is going wrong?

Just to bring up a point, Softupdates will also avoid the long fsck at
boot.  If I understand the papers I have read and with playing with
Softupdates on current, Softupdates leaves files system in a
consistent state so that the file-system can be mounted after a
crash/lockup/etc immediately and only a background fsck need be run to
free up left over pieces laying around.

You guys also might want to wonder over to Kirk's Softupdates site:
