I'm sure having a hard time following your use of the english language
below, that's for sure.  Please use more care if you expect us to
actually understand and respond to your bug reports.

This doesn't tell me anything.

How do manual installs of cvsup fail?

If you'd read the documentation you'd see that current.freebsd.org has
been offering up-to-date SNAPs for ages.

So go back to 3.0 SNAP?  I really don't see the issue here.  Something
worked and so you abandoned it for something which didn't work and now
you're flaming us in a manner which isn't even well-specified enough
for us to know what the exact problem here is.  I'm not forming a good
impression of your abilities here.
