Hello,
I'm new to Freebsd! I'm currently running FreeBSD release 12.0 on my desktop, which I installed a few days ago. When I run "freebsd-update fetch" to update my system, nothing happens and the system just hangs. Following is a snapshot:
___________
root@freebsd1:~ # freebsd-update fetch
src component not installed, skipped
Looking up update.FreeBSD.org mirrors... 3 mirrors found.
Fetching public key from update1.freebsd.org... done.
Fetching metadata signature for 12.0-RELEASE from update1.freebsd.org... done.
Fetching metadata index... done.
Fetching 2 metadata files... done.
Inspecting system... done.
Preparing to download files... done.
____________
Nothing happens after the above...
I have verified my /etc/freebsd-update.conf file and it seems to have the default settings. I have also deleted and re-created the /var/db/freebsd-update directory with "700" permissions. Still no dice! What could be going on? Any inputs/pointers to resolve this would be much appreciated...
Thanks much
