freebsd-update

I'm not sure what happened, but suddenly any attempt to run pkg says ld-elf.so.1: /usr/sbin/pkg: Undefined symbol "fetchDebug". I tried reinstalling it from ports, and I got this error ld-elf.so.1: /usr/bin/fetch: Undefined symbol "fetchRestartCalls", but I managed to download the file it wanted...

When I run freebsd-update fetch, it says I have modified some files locally: The following files are affected by updates. No changes have been downloaded, however, because the files have been modified locally: /etc/defaults/rc.conf /var/db/mergemaster.mtree I don't remember modifying these -...

Dear amazing FreeBSD Community, I have never encountered the following problem: I wanted to update my testmachine which is running an older patchlevel of FreeBSD 13.2-RELEASE namely 13.2-RELEASE-p5 to the newest patchlevel which is currently 13.2-RELEASE-p10. When issuing the command sudo -E...

I was following the handbook when creating a thin jail and ended up with a jail where ping reports the following error: ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libcap_dns.so.2" not found, required by "ping" The fault is probably mine, but I wanted to understand better what happened. My host is...

I'm cleaning up my notes now that I'm committed to running FreeBSD on my desktop full-time. I noticed that when I run freebsd-update it creates a snapshot of the environment? So, in theory, I shouldn't need to create one prior to running the command. Is what freebsd-update doing sufficient if...

Hello everyone, The FreeBSD Handbook, chapter 26, concerning my question is presently still using jargon beyond my level of learning; searching the forum, the Internet, YouTube, etc. did not yield an explanation for my rather basic question. I hope I do not disturb the quality of the forums by...

Hello there. Just upgraded from 13.2 to 14.0 RELEASE, via freebsd-update tool. I guess I manually need to execute command for ZFS update/upgrade, after FreeBSD upgrade from 13.2 to 14, right? I'd like to be careful on this step because this is a remote dedicated server with no physical access...

Hi, after freebsd-update fetch install and a reboot, I now cannot connect to my remote server. My ssh client on Windows says: End of keyboard-interactive prompts for server - Server refused to allocate pty. I tried to clean my known_hosts ssh file on Windows, then tried to reconnect, nothing...

Hi everybody, that's strange. I've discovered that the line : ADD_SIGCODE(SIGFPE, 8, FPE_FLTIDO, 9, "input denormal operation"); is missing in my sys/signal.h... while $ freebsd-version 13.1-RELEASE-p7 WTF ! I've just run : # freebsd-update fetch # freebsd-update install But sys/signal.h is...

I have a number of special settings in /etc/ssh/sshd_config. When I tried to upgrade from 12.3 to 12.4 the config merge process removes everyone of them including the ListenAddress which disables sshd altogether. I do not recall having this difficulty with previous upgrades. Is my memory going...

Hello, I recently ran freebsd-update on a FreeBSD 13.1-RELEASE machine and got the following message... The following files are affected by updates. No changes have been downloaded, however, because the files have been modified locally: /var/db/etcupdate/log (END) I will not post the entire...

I recently upgraded my server from FreeBSD 13.0 RELEASE to 13.1 RELEASE. I followed the instructions in the handbook, but I'm having issues, especially with iocage. When I attempt to run iocage, I get this error: # iocage ld-elf.so.1: /lib/libc.so.7: version FBSD_1.7 required by...

Something very odd just occurred on my laptop when I performed a freebsd-update fetch & install. When I did the fetch it reported that there was a new patch (I was already on p4), so I then performed the "freebsd-update install" as usual and then did a reboot. When I checked it using uname -a...

Hi mates! Try to update my vpn box from 13.1-RELEASE-p3 to 13.1-RELEASE-p4 with freebsd-update tool and I see strange behavior root@vpnbox:/usr/src # uname -srm FreeBSD 13.1-RELEASE-p3 amd64 root@vpnbox:/usr/src # freebsd-update fetch Looking up update.FreeBSD.org mirrors... 2 mirrors found...

(Disclaimer: I'm a noob. Structure your replies accordingly.) I installed FreeBSD 13.0-RELEASE last fall with the help of this forum. I haven't updated the computer since then, and have basically just ensured that, with my current install, the OS and KDE work and I am able to use Firefox...

After moving from Arch Linux to FreeBSD 13.0-RELEASE-p7 one major difference that I found was the fact that under all Linux distros there is only one update mechanism which updates both the base and user land packages. For example under Debian/Ubuntu you need to run only sudo apt update && sudo...

FreeBSD 13.0-RELEASE. p4 kernel, p5 userland, consistent with <https://bokut.in/freebsd-patch-level-table/#releng/13.0>. freebsd-update(8) repeatedly fetches but fails to install updates. Rebooted, no better. How should I resolve this? …

I would like to implement a detection within a script that gives me an answer if the release is at END OF LIFE or still current. In a nutshell, I call freebsd-update from my script and I need to differentiate between a legitimate error and the error code 1 returned by freebsd-update when the...

Hi, I just patched my kernels for the latest round of advisories. Then I noticed an inconsistency in the patch level: [ritz.156] # uname -a FreeBSD ritz.oakes.consulting 11.4-RELEASE-p9 FreeBSD 11.4-RELEASE-p9 #0: Tue Apr 6 09:27:45 UTC 2021...
