Port install problem

[leveraction]

I am trying to install rsync from the ports collection.

/usr/ports/net/rsync # make install clean

I get an error:

"Ports Collection support for your FreeBSD version has ended, and no ports are
guaranteed to build on this system. Please upgrade to a supported release."

I check the version:

/usr/ports/net/rsync # freebsd-version -k and get:

"11.2-RELEASE-p4"

which from what I can tell appears to be the latest.

What gives?

What does freebsd-version -ru tell you?

OK, I think I am mixing up installers.
I tried pkg install rsync and it worked...

For the record, I tried freebsd-version -ru and got:

Illegal option -r
usage: freebsd-version [-ku]

I think that's not the only thing you're mixing up.

For the record, I tried freebsd-version -ru and got:
Illegal option -r
usage: freebsd-version [-ku]

Then you're not using FreeBSD 11.2, see also freebsd-version(1).

Yes, there is definitely more going on here. rsync seemed to work, but I have definitely monkeyed something up.

freebsd-version
11.1-RELEASE

freebsd-version -u
11.1-RELEASE

freebsd-version -k
11.2-RELEASE-p4

freebsd-version -r
Illegal option -r
usage: freebsd-version [-ku]

Your kernel got updated but the userland binaries are still out of date and from 11.1-RELEASE.

You didn't update properly from 11.1 to 11.2

Did you reboot after the first freebsd-update install and then run again freebsd-update install

That's a negative Ghost Rider.

Can I reboot and run freebsd-update install to fix or is it too late for that?

Unless you messed in other ways with freebsd-update (for example edited config files) then it should still be perfectly safe.
