Preparing to download files... done. /usr/sbin/freebsd-update: cannot open files/.gz: No such file or directory /usr/sbin/freebsd-update: cannot open files/.gz: No such file or directory /usr/sbin/freebsd-update: cannot open files/.gz: No such file or directory /usr/sbin/freebsd-update: cannot open files/.gz: No such file or directory .. .. Then, some strange things happen, like freebsd-update being unable to merge very simple files and asking the user to merge them manually. I tried to update to another release (RC1 at this moment) but the same errors are shown. I also tried to remove the whole /var/db/freebsd-update directory. freebsd-update recreated it but the same problems appeared. I tracked down the problem to the upgrade_merge() function. A lot of files in the 'tomerge' file created by freebsd-update don't exist in the INDEX-PRESENT file. I don't know if this means a problem in the INDEX-PRESENT file or not. >How-To-Repeat: Once freebsd-update shows this error, it is reproducible running freebsd-update -r 8.0-BETA4 upgrade again. >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
