FreeBSD upgrade from 11.3 to 12.1

I've successfully upgraded FreeBSD 11.3 p13 to 12.1 p10 and all seems well but to be on the safe side a couple of things have occurred.

When running the final freebsd-update install before rebooting into 12.1 I noted the following ...

Code: 
rmdir: ///var/db/etcupdate/current/usr/share/openssl/man/en.ISO8859-1: Directory not empty
rmdir: ///var/db/etcupdate/current/usr/share/openssl/man: Directory not empty
rmdir: ///var/db/etcupdate/current/usr/share/openssl: Directory not empty
rmdir: ///var/db/etcupdate/current/usr/share/man/en.UTF-8: Directory not empty
rmdir: ///var/db/etcupdate/current/usr/share/man/en.ISO8859-1: Directory not empty
rmdir: ///var/db/etcupdate/current/usr/share/man: Directory not empty

of which those folders are all still there. After the reboot I also noted the following in /var/log/messages ...

Code:

of which this was touched upon and replied to by SirDice in the following thread ...

Is this something I need to be concerned about or can they be ignored?
 
Hi,

I just upgraded an old 11.2 amd64 install to 12.1 and had the same thing. looking forward to hearing this as well.
 
How did you perform major update? binary or compile. If it was binary, did you freebsd-update install three times, according to the Handbook? One after freebsd-update -r 12.1-RELEASE upgrade, another after shutdown -r now and finally the last one, after upgrading all installed packages: pkg-static upgrade -f or portmaster -af.
