            Bug ID: 275849
           Summary: Feature request: freebsd-update reinstall
           Product: Base System
           Version: 14.0-RELEASE
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: bin
          Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: kit-ty-kate@outlook.com

When the part of the upgrade to a newer release of FreeBSD fails (see for
example https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D275847 ), there=
 seems
to be currently no way of installing the missing files other than by copying
them manually from freebsd-src or similar sources.

To fix that I propose a new subcommand to freebsd-update: reinstall.

Calling `freebsd-update reinstall` would force reinstallation of the current
release, making sure every files and directories are correctly installed in=
 the
process.

Such subcommand could also be called `fix` or something of the sort if you
prefer.
