In = https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html = <https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html= > I don't see that "mergemaster -p" is needed and I don't remember where = I found this command but I use it for a long time. I found the "mergemaster -p" in an older doc version: = http://www.far-far-away.com/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.h= tml = <http://www.far-far-away.com/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.= html> mergemaster -p : This does some initial configuration file updates in preparation for the = new world. For instance it may add new user groups to the system, or new = user names to the password database. This is often necessary when new = groups or special system-user accounts have been added since the last = update, so that the installworld step will be able to use the newly = installed system user or system group names without problems. But the latest doc version has no reference about "mergemaster -p". So "mergemaster/etcupdate -p" is not needed if we use 12.2?=
