That is not the same thing. It is looking for "8.2-PRERELEASE": Your system is not on a binary release (a RELEASE, a BETA, or a RC) and cannot (regularly) be updated by freebsd-update. I have done freebsd-updates 8.1-RELEASE -> 8.2-BETA1 -> 8.2-RC1 -> 8.2-RC2 on amd64 successfully (as well as 8.2-RC1 -> 8.2-RC2 on i386). The bits are all there. For 8.2-RC3 and 7.4-RC3 the amd64 signatures are missing while the i386 ones are there: http://update4.freebsd.org/8.2-RC3/ Both amd64 and i386 are there for 8.2-RC2 (and every other RELEASE, BETA, and RC): http://update4.freebsd.org/8.2-RC2/ Interestingly, while the signature is missing, the binary patches are there for amd64 (and i386): http://update4.freebsd.org/to-8.2-RC3/ Cheers, Jan Henrik
