The branch releng/12.2 has been updated by markj: URL: https://cgit.FreeBSD.org/src/commit/?id=df378912ebc2fe2603fcbcedf72af9d7b0e94db7 commit df378912ebc2fe2603fcbcedf72af9d7b0e94db7 Author: Kyle Evans <kevans@FreeBSD.org> AuthorDate: 2020-12-17 03:42:54 +0000 Commit: Mark Johnston <markj@FreeBSD.org> CommitDate: 2021-02-24 01:42:01 +0000 MFC freebsd-update: unconditionally regenerate passwd/login.conf files The existing logic is nice in theory, but in practice freebsd-update will not preserve the timestamps on these files. When doing a major upgrade, e.g. from 12.1-RELEASE -> 12.2-RELEASE, pwd.mkdb et al. appear in the INDEX and we clobber the timestamp several times in the process of packaging up the existing system into /var/db/freebsd-update/files and extracting for comparisons. This leads to these files not getting regenerated when they're most likely to be needed. Measures could be taken to preserve timestamps, but it's unclear whether the complexity and overhead of doing so is really outweighed by the marginal benefit. I observed this issue when pkg subsequently failed to install a package that wanted to add a user, claiming that the user was removed in the process. bapt@ pointed to this pre-existing bug with freebsd-update as the cause.
