Problem with freebsd-update and out of sync system

konstantin · May 27, 2011

Hi

I have installed

Code:

ota2# uname -a
FreeBSD ota2.cellnetrix.com 7.3-RELEASE-p5 FreeBSD 7.3-RELEASE-p5 #6: Fri May 27 14:30:58 MSD 2011 
    kvasilev@ota2.cellnetrix.com:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  i386

But freebsd-update thinks that something is wrong with my system:

Code:

ota2# freebsd-update fetch
Looking up update.FreeBSD.org mirrors... 4 mirrors found.
Fetching metadata signature for 7.3-RELEASE from update5.FreeBSD.org... done.
Fetching metadata index... done.
Inspecting system... done.
Preparing to download files... done.

The following files are affected by updates, but no changes have
been downloaded because the files have been modified locally:
/var/db/mergemaster.mtree

The following files will be updated as part of updating to 7.3-RELEASE-p5:
/boot/kernel/kernel
/boot/kernel/kernel.symbols
/boot/kernel/nfsclient.ko
/boot/kernel/nfsclient.ko.symbols
/usr/lib/libbz2.a
/usr/lib/libbz2_p.a
/usr/lib/libopie.a
/usr/lib/libopie_p.a
/usr/lib/libssl.a
/usr/lib/libssl_p.a
/usr/lib/libstand.a
/usr/sbin/mountd
/usr/share/man/man2/mount.2.gz
/usr/share/man/man2/nmount.2.gz
/usr/share/man/man2/unmount.2.gz
/usr/src/contrib/opie/libopie/readrec.c
/usr/src/lib/libc/sys/mount.2
/usr/src/sys/conf/newvers.sh
/usr/src/sys/kern/uipc_mbuf.c
/usr/src/sys/nfsclient/nfs_vfsops.c
/usr/src/usr.sbin/mountd/mountd.c

I think that my system is out of sync.
Ok I tried to sync.
I deleted all under /usr/src/ and got new sources via csup.
My csup file

Code:

# Defaults that apply to all the collections
#
# IMPORTANT: Change the next line to use one of the CVSup mirror sites
# listed at http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/mirrors.html.
*default host=cvsup2.ru.FreeBSD.org
*default base=/var/db
*default prefix=/usr
*default release=cvs tag=RELENG_7_3
*default delete use-rel-suffix

# If you seem to be limited by CPU rather than network or disk bandwidth, try
# commenting out the following line.  (Normally, today's CPUs are fast enough
# that you want to run compression.)
*default compress

## Main Source Tree.
#
# The easiest way to get the main source tree is to use the "src-all"
# mega-collection.  It includes all of the individual "src-*" collections.
src-all
doc-all tag=.

Then I do

Code:

# cd /usr/src
# make buildworld
# make buildkernel
# make installkernel
# shutdown -r now

boot in single user mode

Code:

# adjkerntz -i
# mount -a -t ufs
# mergemaster -p
# cd /usr/src
# make installworld
# mergemaster
# reboot

But I have the same result.
What am I doing wrong?
What informations are needed to recognize the problem?

It looks as though you may have rebuilt your kernel manually at some point (?):

I believe freebsd-update(8) only supports updates for -RELEASEs:

Code:

DESCRIPTION
     The freebsd-update tool is used to fetch, install, and rollback binary
     updates to the FreeBSD base system.  Note that updates are only available
     if they are being built for the FreeBSD release and architecture being
     used; [B]in particular, the FreeBSD Security Team only builds updates for
     releases shipped in binary form by the FreeBSD Release Engineering Team,
     e.g., FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE and FreeBSD 6.2-RC1[/B], but not FreeBSD 6.2-STABLE
     or FreeBSD 7.0-CURRENT.

If you're desperate to continue using freebsd-update from now on, I suppose you could theoretically sync your src's to RELENG_7_3, recompile and use freebsd-update from then onward...
