Solved [FreeBSD 12.1] freeb-update throws error

[tuxador]

Hi, i have a ivyBridge i5 desktop machine with newly installed FreeBSD

sudo freebsd-update fetch
Mot de passe?:
src component not installed, skipped
freebsd-update: Directory does not exist or is not writable: /var/db/freebsd-update

this is the output of uname -a

uname -a
FreeBSD FreeBSD 12.1-RELEASE-p3 FreeBSD 12.1-RELEASE-p3 GENERIC  amd64

Am i missing something?

What does ls -ld /var/db/freebsd-update show?

Thank you Zirias for your quick reply, running the command gives:

ls: /var/db/freebsd-update: No such file or directory

 

[zirias@]

Well, then you somehow managed to have that removed. Try this (as root):

mkdir /var/db/freebsd-update
chmod 700 /var/db/freebsd-update

This worked, i guess my install media was corrupted, i ran to many issues before i get a working station. Thank you for your help!
