error message on "should never happen, bad manifest"

I think that one was a consequence of the bad, circular, symlink. Solve that conundrum and we solve everything else.
 
it seems that if mktemp returns an empty string and 0 exit code creates the same failure mode
testing now
[root@hpbsd /usr/home/titus]# freebsd-update install
src component not installed, skipped
Update manifest is corrupt -- this should never happen.
Re-run '/usr/sbin/freebsd-update fetch'.
