with freebsd-update install I get -> libc_dlopen.c: No such file or directory

Hi all,

If I install the latest FreeBSD Security Advisories patches, I get this error message:

Code: 
root@zabbix-m01 ~]# freebsd-update fetch
Looking up update.FreeBSD.org mirrors... 4 mirrors found.
Fetching metadata signature for 8.2-RELEASE from update5.FreeBSD.org... done.
Fetching metadata index... done.
Inspecting system... done.
Preparing to download files... done.

The following files will be added as part of updating to 8.2-RELEASE-p5:
/usr/src/lib/libc/gen/libc_dlopen.c

[root@zabbix-m01 ~]# freebsd-update install
Installing updates...install: ///usr/src/lib/libc/gen/libc_dlopen.c: No such file or directory
done.

Possibly an idea? OS = 8.2-RELEASE-p4
Thanks for any assistance.

Oh.. Hahaha.. There are now... 5 to be exact (pam, pam_ssh, telnetd, chroot and bind).

Just wait a few hours or so and try again. You may just have caught the update halfway through.
 
hi SIrDice,
To the last 10min there was e.g. this message.

Possibly an idea to my problem.
What is missing here?
 
If I look into the folder, I miss complete /usr/src/lib/libc (without sys). From where do I get that? With another server with complete /usr/src/lib/libc, I did not have problems. Possibly freebsd-update install cannot create this missing folder /usr/src/lib/libc/gen/, therefore the error message to these.
 
I'm getting the same error on my VPS.

That file doesn't exist. I'm guessing it's supposed to be /usr/src/lib/libc/gen/dlopen.c.
 
It'll still save the wrong file though. On my systems /usr/src/lib/libc/gen/ exists but the libc_dlopen.c does not, I do have a dlopen.c and I assume that's the file they meant to replace.

Now I'm wondering where to report this. I'm not sure a regular PR can be used for this.
 
I got the same error. In my case I did not even have the sources installed, so my /usr/src was empty. The freebsd-update seems to try to patch the sources even though I don't have them. The fix is to run this command before running freebsd-update:
[cmd=]mkdir -p /usr/src/lib/libc/gen[/cmd]
 
Hi all,

I also got same error.

In my environment, I haven't extracted kernel src.

So, I edited the "Components" option in /etc/freebsd-update.conf like this:

Code: 
userland[164] % diff freebsd-update.conf.old freebsd-update.conf
15c15
< Components src world kernel
---
> Components world kernel

I don't understood reason of this error, but this works fine!

This might clear up some things:

While I'm writing, a note to freebsd-update users: [B]FreeBSD-SA-11:07.chroot has a
rather messy fix involving adding a new interface to libc[/B]; this has the awkward
side effect of causing the sizes of some "symbols" (aka. functions) in libc to
change, resulting in cascading changes into many binaries.  The long list of
updated files is irritating, but isn't a sign that anything in freebsd-update
went wrong.

BTW I patched up 6 servers last night, all by building world & kernel with no issues.
 
I had this problem too, so I put in the gen catalogue and then freebsd-update install did complete without errors. However - uname -mrs, shows this:
Code: 
FreeBSD 8.2-RELEASE-p3 i386"]

Does anybody know what is required for uname to show correct patchlevel of freebsd FreeBSD? -I hope this is not only answered by reboot.
 
Hi congo,

The freebsd-update command only updates real changed binaries and the uname command shows kernel version only.

In this case, kernel source code wasn't changed, and the system still using old (p3) kernel object. If you want to *new* kernel which has new (p5) one, you can rebuild worlds and kernels. Or, you can check updated version of binaries.

For example, /usr/sbin/named binary was changed in [FreeBSD-SA-11:06.bind]. You can specify changed binaries, at section 2.b) saying.

Code: 
# cd /usr/src
# patch < /path/to/patch
# cd /usr/src/lib/bind/
# make obj && make depend && make && make install
# cd /usr/src/usr.sbin/named
# make obj && make depend && make && make install

/usr/src/usr.sbin/named means /usr/sbin/named *must* change.

Code: 
 % ls -l `which named`
-r-xr-xr-x  2 root  wheel  1938212 Dec 24 04:00 /usr/sbin/named

I found date of this file is newer in advisory, and the object(s) had patched version.
 
So, what is the correct fix for this? I'm getting the same error:
Code: 
# freebsd-update install
Installing updates...install: ///usr/src/lib/libc/gen/libc_dlopen.c: No such file or directory
 done.

i did:
Code: 
# mkdir -p /usr/src/lib/libc/gen

- then freebsd-update completes without errors. Its a bit of a hack, but it seems to work well.

I think Cryptomeria had the right answer, at least for those of us who don't have source code installed. Edit /etc/freebsd-update.conf, and remove src from the Components list.
 
ehanneken, Thanks. I actually don't know if I have source code installed. This was a new install from CD (a few month ago now).
 
For those reading through this I can confirm that this solution works fine when building your own kernel from source:

Code: 
mkdir -p /usr/src/lib/libc/gen
freebsd-update fetch

freebsd-update will then say:
Code: 
The following files will be added as part of updating to 8.2-RELEASE-p6:
/usr/src/lib/libc/gen/libc_dlopen.c

Then just run install as usual:
Code: 
freebsd-update install
 
Thanks to all, this:

Code: 
# mkdir -p /usr/src/lib/libc/gen

works perfectly.

By the way, I didn't find solution in RU-net, so I copy this to me here.
