Hi, I am on a freebsd-version -ku:
Code: 
10.1-RC3
10.1-RC3
and uname:
Code: 
10.1-RC3 FreeBSD 10.1-RC3 #0 r273437: Tue Oct 21 23:55:15 UTC 2014  root@releng1.nyi.freebsd.org:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  amd64
and my ' freebsd-update -r 10.1-RC4 upgrade' says:
Code: 
Looking up update.FreeBSD.org mirrors... 5 mirrors found.
Fetching metadata signature for 10.1-RC3 from update6.freebsd.org... done.

failed.
but it is not just update6, it also seems to be the problem with update2 and update4.

Some days before the upgrade worked without any issues, so I think that someone had to move some files that are now missing.
 
I found that there are ppl people writing blogs about it and some of them have already been indexed by Google. Yes, I am working on compiling 10-STABLE from source.
 
freebsd-update seems to be completely broken on my system now:
Code: 
root@bronze:~ #freebsd-update fetch

root@bronze:~ #uname -a
FreeBSD bronze 10.1-RC3 FreeBSD 10.1-RC3 #0 r273437: Tue Oct 21 23:55:15 UTC 2014     root@releng1.nyi.freebsd.org:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  amd64

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Same problem for me here too. Please advise.
 
OK, same problem and the solution (at least it works for me):

Code: 
freebsd-update rollback
reboot
freebsd-update fetch
freebsd-update upgrade -r 10.1-RC4
freebsd-upgrade install
reboot
freebsd-upgrade install

I had the same problem (I had started with the RC3 install), so I did something that is probably not a good idea and added this code to the /usr/sbin/freebsd-update:
Code: 
#TEMP
if [ ${FETCHDIR} = "10.1-RC3/amd64" ]; then
        TINDEXHASH="7d3651b79671923e091b22dac6e49c081d0baae1185e444d999106cd2800d830"
fi
#TEMP

The line # is after 1141 and the
Code: 
rm -f ${TINDEXHASH}
line.

I am very sure there is a better way, but I didn't find it.
