I did not run freebsd-update upgrade. I ran "fetch" then "install" with
no "upgrade". Perhaps that was my problem.
I do agree that the message was poorly worded (imo, understatement).

Is that the regular procedure when using freebsd-update? i.e., ...
freebsd-update fetch
freebsd-update upgrade
freebsd-update install
?
The man page for freebsd-update says that "upgrade" is used when
upgrading to a new release. It makes no mention of using "upgrade" when
updating a current release. If I run it when I am doing an update for a
current release, will it upgrade me to a new release?
Thanks for the reply.
