Solved 14.3-RELEASE-p6 to 15.0-RELEASE: "failed", no further detail

I'm in the middle of attempting to update from 14.3-RELEASE-p6 to 15.0-RELEASE, using freebsd-update and following the official instructions on freebsd.org. The first two steps (freebsd-update fetch and freebsd-update install) seemingly went fine (both indicating they had nothing to do, I guess because I had already upgraded to 14.3-RELEASE-p6 when that came out). The next step, however... not so great:

Code: 
# freebsd-update upgrade -r 15.0-RELEASE

Looking up update.FreeBSD.org mirrors... 3 mirrors found.
Fetching metadata signature for 14.3-RELEASE from update1.freebsd.org... done.
Fetching metadata index... done.
Fetching 1 metadata patches. done.
Applying metadata patches... done.
Inspecting system... done.

The following components of FreeBSD seem to be installed:
kernel/generic src/src world/base world/lib32
The following components of FreeBSD do not seem to be installed:
kernel/generic-dbg world/base-dbg world/lib32-dbg

Does this look reasonable (y/n)? y

Sooooo... uh... I guess it failed, huh?

Did I do something wrong? Is there any way to get some slightly more specific information about what happened? Is my machine in imminent danger of becoming unusable at the next reboot, or some such thing?

Thanks in advance.
 
It died in the fetching phase (probably due to some network issues) so no local changes yet. You can try upgrade again.... I seem to recall it won't fetch files it already fetched. Not 100% sure as I stopped using freebsd-update a long time ago precisely because of its fetching a very large number of files individually....
