            Bug ID: 194746
           Summary: /etc/freebsd-update.conf shouldn't include src as an
                    Component on the Components line
           Product: Base System
           Version: 9.3-RELEASE
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: Needs Triage
          Severity: Affects Many People
          Priority: ---
         Component: conf
          Assignee: freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: dereks@lifeofadishwasher.com

Since the src component is optional part of the FreeBSD base system more often
than not you'll always end up with these type of error messages from
freebsd-update fetch/install:


$ freebsd-update fetch
...
The following files will be added as part of updating to 10.0-RELEASE-p11:
/usr/src/contrib/tzdata/zone1970.tab
...
$ freebsd-update install
Installing updates...install: ///usr/src/contrib/tzdata/zone1970.tab: No such
file or directory
 done.
$

If you want to keep /usr/src up to date then you should have to add that to
/etc/freebsd-update.conf or freebsd-update(8) should be smart and not try to
install components that are not installed.

freebsd-update should have some logic to understand an empty /usr/src/ means I
don't care about the src component even though it's on the Components line in
freebsd-update.conf.
