Fetching 1 metadata files. . . Failed

Hey guys

I wanted to update my system one last time before upgrading to 11.2-RELEASE.
Apparently my machine is looking for files that aren't even available:

Code:

admin@server ~  sudo freebsd-update -v debug fetch install
src component not installed, skipped
Looking up update.FreeBSD.org mirrors... 3 mirrors found.
Fetching metadata signature for 11.1-RELEASE from update6.freebsd.org...

failed.

Does anybody have an idea? What should I look out for? I'm thankful for anything.
I don't have a custom freebsd-update.conf.

Greetings, Philipp

Perhaps you should try a different server using the -s option.

Well, trying with any other update server yields the same results.

I have the same issue as I asked here : https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/update-failed-12-0-release-p8.72267/

Any solutions ?
