Solved 13.3-RELEASE unsupported error

trev · Wednesday at 12:56 AM

This morning I updated 13.3 to p4 with freebsd-update:

Code:

root@centurion:/usr/ports # freebsd-version -ukr
13.3-RELEASE-p3
13.3-RELEASE-p3
13.3-RELEASE-p4

but now when I try to update ports from source I get this:

Code:

--->  Upgrading 'perl5-5.34.3_3' to 'perl5-5.36.3_1' (lang/perl5.36)
--->  Building '/usr/ports/lang/perl5.36' with make flags: -DDISABLE_CONFLICTS
===>  Cleaning for perl5-5.36.3_1
/!\ ERROR: /!\

Ports Collection support for your FreeBSD version has ended, and no ports are
guaranteed to build on this system. Please upgrade to a supported release.

No support will be provided if you silence this message by defining
ALLOW_UNSUPPORTED_SYSTEM.

Any ideas?

What was the command, exactly?

What is output of
grep '^\#define[[:blank:]]__FreeBSD_version' /usr/include/sys/param.h /usr/src/sys/sys/param.h
grep -B1 _UNSUPPORTED_SYSTEM_MESSAGE /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk|head -1

Tried both portupgrade -a and then make in the relevant port directory with the identical result.

Yep, well aware of that which is why I started with portupgrade. I have had that note inserted as a comment in my /etc/make.conf since it first appeared in /usr/ports/UPDATING.

When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail ... so I ran:

Code:

freebsd-update upgrade -r 13.3-RELEASE --currently-running 13.2-RELEASE

and now all is well in the land of supported operating systems.

No idea why the 13.3p4 update caused this issue.
