I get the (apparently well-known) error below when trying to use the command "freebsd-update upgrade -r 9.3-RELEASE" on a box (actually VM) running 9.0-RELEASE (p7). > "The update metadata is correctly signed, but > failed an integrity check. > Cowardly refusing to proceed any further." All the instances I've seen of this issue pertain to either upgrading to 9.x from 8.x or earlier, or upgrading 9.x to 10.0. Even though I initially patched to the p7 level of 9.0-RELEASE before trying to do this upgrade (using freebsd-update actually, and it seemed to work fine for that), I still tried the often-suggested fix for the known issue of older versions of freebsd-update not recognizing "%" and "@" characters. The result was that there were no changes made to the freebsd-update script. (diff says it's identical to the existing file) Anything else I can try? Here's the sed command: sed -i '' -e 's/=_%@_/' /usr/sbin/freebsd-update TIA -- Philip J. Koenig pjklist@ekahuna.com Electric Kahuna Systems -- Computers & Communications for the New Millenium
