"Does this look reasonable (y/n)? y" aborts the whole process

[nantex]

Howdy,

I wanted to upgrade from 13.2-RELEASE to 14.1-RELEASE and went the usual process. I was asked a bunch of questions regarding file changes and in one case I wanted to object, so I entered "n". Then freebsd-update just existed and I had to re-start the whole process, including all the already answered questions and edited files.

Is this a bug or am I doing it wrong? The command I used was:

freebsd-update -r 14.1-RELEASE upgrade

Or do I have to note (and copy) all the files I don't want to be changed, answer "y" and restore them after the upgrade? But this doesn't sound like the proper upgrade process I remember

Normally the upgrade should work even if you answer yes or no.

Nothing actually gets upgraded at this stage. Changes are only applied when you do freebsd-update install (three times for a major version upgrade).

… from 13.2-RELEASE … the usual process.

If you didn't upgrade to 13.3 before 14.1, please do so when you repeat the process.

Are you certain, about the "n" response?

IIRC, n in the pictured example results in things not proceeding.

I'd expect n to also mean do not proceed in later parts of the routine.

(three times for a major version upgrade).

More than three, if updates are fetched in response to `freebsd-update fetch` (a preceding stage).
