This is what I'm getting. > sudo freebsd-update fetch Password: Looking up update.FreeBSD.org mirrors... 3 mirrors found. Fetching metadata signature for 8.2-RELEASE from = update5.FreeBSD.org... done. Fetching metadata index... done. Inspecting system... done. Preparing to download files... done. The following files are affected by updates, but no changes have been downloaded because the files have been modified locally: /var/db/mergemaster.mtree No updates needed to update system to 8.2-RELEASE-p10. =20 WARNING: FreeBSD 8.2-RELEASE-p9 HAS PASSED ITS END-OF-LIFE DATE. Any security issues discovered after Wed Aug 1 00:00:00 UTC 2012 will not have been corrected. Note the complaint about mergemaster.mtree. I haven't modified that, so = I'm not sure why it's complaining. It may be a red herring anyway = though. However, since no changes have been downloaded, an install does = nothing. > sudo freebsd-update install No updates are available to install. Run '/usr/sbin/freebsd-update fetch' first. However, after a reboot, I'm still running p9. > uname -a FreeBSD obfuscated.com 8.2-RELEASE-p9 FreeBSD 8.2-RELEASE-p9 #0: Mon = Jun 11 23:00:11 UTC 2012 = root@amd64-builder.daemonology.net:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC amd64 I'm running a generic kernel, which should be updated according to the = freebsd-update docs. Any suggestions for how to get this to complete?
