I can't find the original email, but here is what I did find via google:
10.0-RELEASE is no longer supported, which means you didn't get the =
important FreeBSD-EN-16:09.freebsd-update errata fix for freebsd-update.
You'll have to patch freebsd-update manually. Open up =
/usr/sbin/freebsd-update, and in the function fetch_metadata_sanity(), =
you'll see this:
# Check that the first four fields make sense.
if gunzip -c < files/$1.gz |
grep -qvE "^[a-z]+\|[0-9a-z]+\|${P}+\|[fdL-]\|"; then
fetch_metadata_bogus ""
return 1
fi
Add a hyphen at the end of [0-9a-z] like so:
grep -qvE "^[a-z]+\|[0-9a-z-]+\|${P}+\|[fdL-]\|"; then
Save, and now it should work.

Unfortunately that didn't resolve it; same failure.

It's definitely failing within fetch_metadata_sanity() somewhere.=20
Does /var/db/freebsd-update/sanitycheck.tmp exist when freebsd-update =
exits? If so, post its contents. If not, then it's failing at the point =
you quoted. (Incidentally, bspatch isn't executed yet, so the problem =
isn't connected to your truncating bspatch.)
Also, post your /usr/sbin/freebsd-update to pastebin or something. I'll =
compare it with my later version.

I don't have a sanitycheck.tmp there.

I think I've found the problem.
In the same function, fetch_metadata_sanity(), add a comma to this:
P=3D"[-+./:=3D%@_[~[:alnum:]]"
like so:
P=3D"[-+./:=3D,%@_[~[:alnum:]]"
The comma doesn't exist before 10.2, explaining why some people are =
having luck upgrading to 10.3 first. If that's what the problem is, then =
I'd say an errata needs to be released for the still-supported 10.1 and =
9.3.
There are two patches there. The second may be all that you need. I =
just don't recall if I used the first one also. There is a Bug report: =
Bug 211398 that has the original patch that I used. Note, that the line =
numbers were not exactly the same for any of my systems. =20
