Fetching metadata signature for 8.2-RELEASE from update5.FreeBSD.org... done. Fetching metadata index... done. Inspecting system... done. Preparing to download files... done. No updates needed to update system to 8.2-RELEASE-p4. ===== I'm new to FreeBSD and after looking through the FreeBSD website I think I may have answered my question, but thought I would say that the message "No updates needed to update system to 8.2-RELEASE-p4" seems a little contradictory: if "8.2-RELEASE-p4" isn't relevant for my FreeBSD installation why even mention it. As far as answering my question, i.e. 'how does one install 8.2-RELEASE-p4 on a system running 8.2-RELEASE-p3', if I understand the relevant security advisory, http://security.freebsd.org/advisories/FreeBSD-SA-11:05.unix.asc it looks like "8.2-RELEASE-p4" is an update for source, consequently, I'm getting the output that I am from freebsd-update because I don't have any source installed on my system. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
