Solved FreeBSD 12.1 upgrade - file not found

Before upgrading to 12.1, I renamed my /var/db/etcupdate/ folder to see if I needed it anymore.
Reason : https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/freebsd-12-upgrade-failed-to-delete-folders-files.69114/

Now that I have done that, I got this error message :
Code: 
$ sudo freebsd-update install
Installing updates...install: ///var/db/etcupdate/current/etc/devd/iwmbtfw.conf: No such file or directory
install: ///var/db/etcupdate/current/etc/rc.d/ippool: No such file or directory

Completing this upgrade requires removing old shared object files.
Please rebuild all installed 3rd party software (e.g., programs
installed from the ports tree) and then run "/usr/sbin/freebsd-update install"
again to finish installing updates.

Is there any way for me to fix the above issue now?
 
mkdir /var/db/etcupdate

The directory needs to exist, you moved it out of the way.
 
I'm sorry, I did not know you can run the command again and just continue like that. My worry was by doing that, it would continue to the next step (deleting the old system libraries) before I had a chance to rebuild my 3 party applications.

Thank you for your help.
