Solved Can't upgrade to 14.4 - No updates are available to install

[blazingice]

I'm trying to to upgrade from 14.3p9 to 14.4 following the instructions:

# freebsd-update upgrade -r 14.4-RELEASE
# freebsd-update install
# shutdown -r now
# freebsd-update install


First command runs well, it downloads the 4814 patches and asks for a manual merge of various files. I "ACCEPT" /etc/sshd_config. I say 'yes' to /etc/crontab and 'no' to src/etc/dma/auth.conf

However, I can't get pass the second command, which generates:

No updates are available to install.
Run 'freebsd-update [options] fetch' first.


I have seen some similar issues in some old posts from previous upgrades, but the solution is not clear.

How do I fix it?

Is the first install actually complete? freebsd-version -kru.

src/etc/dma/auth.conf

Is it not rather /etc/dma/auth.conf?

The updates and patches are downloaded and stored in /var/db/freebsd-update/. The install phase loads them from there.

and 'no' to src/etc/dma/auth.conf

Saying 'no' to the proposed changes stops the entire upgrade process. Your freebsd-update .... upgrade never "finished", so there's nothing to install.

Thanks, saying 'yes' to the proposed changes of /etc/dma/auth.conf solved the issue. I was trying to keep my settings not overwritten!
