https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=291806 Bug ID: 291806 Summary: The pkgpbase release of 15.0-RELEASE is missing the MINIMAL kernel and several other packages Product: Base System Version: 15.0-RELEASE Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: bin Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: vivek@khera.org I have a 14.3 system using pkgbase as converted using pkgbasify at 14.2-RELEASE. I am attempting to upgrade it to 15.0-RELEASE. After much research and discussion on reddit and the forums, I came up with this set of steps. However the major hitch in this is that the MINIMAL kernel package is missing from 15.0-RELEASE. See also the forum discussion https://forums.FreeBSD.org/threads/call-for-testing-pkgbase-support-in-15-0.97736/post-729900 pkg remove FreeBSD-src FreeBSD-src-sys bectl create 15.0-RELEASE bectl mount 15.0-RELEASE /mnt/upgrade pkg -c /mnt/upgrade lock pkg pkg -c /mnt/upgrade add -f https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:15:amd64/base_release_0/FreeBSD-pkg-bootstrap-15.0.pkg # edit the file FreeBSD-base.conf to set the url to base_release_0 and fingerprints to point to "/usr/share/keys/pkgbase-15" emacs /mnt/upgrade/usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD-base.conf env ABI=FreeBSD:15:amd64 pkg-static -c /mnt/upgrade upgrade -r FreeBSD-base pkg -c /mnt/upgrade unlock pkg At this point, we are left with a fair number of missing packages, including the minimal kernel package which I am using. This is a system with a 14.3 kernel and 15.0 userland, which is an unusable system when booted. running command: `pkg -c /mnt/upgrade version -vL=` FreeBSD-dpv-14.3p7 ? orphaned: base FreeBSD-dpv-dev-14.3p7 ? orphaned: base FreeBSD-dpv-dev-lib32-14.3p7 ? orphaned: base FreeBSD-dpv-lib32-14.3p7 ? orphaned: base FreeBSD-dpv-man-14.3p7 ? orphaned: base FreeBSD-efi-tools-dev-lib32-14.3p7 ? orphaned: base FreeBSD-efi-tools-lib32-14.3p7 ? orphaned: base FreeBSD-ftpd-14.3p7 ? orphaned: base FreeBSD-ftpd-man-14.3p7 ? orphaned: base FreeBSD-kernel-generic-mmccam-14.3p7 ? orphaned: base FreeBSD-kernel-minimal-14.3p7 ? orphaned: base FreeBSD-liby-dev-14.3p7 ? orphaned: base FreeBSD-liby-dev-lib32-14.3p7 ? orphaned: base FreeBSD-openssl-lib-lib32-14.3p7 ? orphaned: base FreeBSD-openssl-lib-man-14.3p7 ? orphaned: base FreeBSD-pkg-bootstrap-man-14.3p7 ? orphaned: base FreeBSD-sendmail-dev-14.3p7 ? orphaned: base FreeBSD-sendmail-dev-lib32-14.3p7 ? orphaned: base FreeBSD-sendmail-lib32-14.3p7 ? orphaned: base FreeBSD-tests-man-14.3p7 ? orphaned: base FreeBSD-unbound-14.3p7 ? orphaned: base FreeBSD-unbound-dev-14.3p7 ? orphaned: base FreeBSD-unbound-dev-lib32-14.3p7 ? orphaned: base FreeBSD-unbound-lib32-14.3p7 ? orphaned: base FreeBSD-unbound-man-14.3p7 ? orphaned: base There are also a whole bunch of non-base packages which are "succeeds remote" now which I will ignore for now. Curiously, the 15.0-STABLE pkgbase has the minimal kernel but I'd rather run RELEASE. Can we get these missing packages restored into the 15.0-RELEASE pkgbase set? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.help
