It seems you did not get the kernel update neither.

Usually, this works, and I have been using it since 9.0. However, 
"freebsd-version -kru" on the non-pkgbase systems prints:
15.0-RELEASE
15.0-RELEASE
15.0-RELEASE-p1

Which means I did not get the kernel update, and only userland was 
updated to -p1. freebsd-update fetch did download files:

[root@log /root]# freebsd-update fetch

^^ after the usual procedure I did a shutdown -r now. After that, "uname 
-a" prints "FreeBSD log 15.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 15.0-RELEASE 
releng/15.0-n280995-7aedc8de6446 GENERIC amd64" - so no kernel update.

On the pkgbase system, after the reboot, "uname -a" prints "FreeBSD 
vmfreebsd 15.0-RELEASE-p1 FreeBSD 15.0-RELEASE-p1 
releng/15.0-n280999-7bceec30b351 GENERIC amd64"

I did get the kernel update on the pkgbase-system: "freebsd-version 
-kru" prints:
15.0-RELEASE-p1
15.0-RELEASE-p1
15.0-RELEASE-p1


I deleted everything from /var/db/freebsd-update, but this did not 
change anything - I still do not get the kernel update to -p1 on my 
non-pkgbase systems.

As a side note: "freebsd-version -k -u" and "freebsd-version -u -k" is 
the same output on all systems, so don't expect the parameter be aligned 
with the output line.

Any ideas? Thanks!

Robert
