Solved Trying to upgrade from 14.2-p1 to 14.2-p4 (dummie tread)

Code: 
freebsd-update upgrade -r 14.2-RELEASE-p4
Looking up update.FreeBSD.org mirrors... 3 mirrors found.
Fetching metadata signature for 14.2-RELEASE from update2.freebsd.org... done.
Fetching metadata index... done.
Inspecting system... done.

The following components of FreeBSD seem to be installed:
kernel/generic kernel/generic-dbg src/src world/base world/base-dbg
world/lib32 world/lib32-dbg

The following components of FreeBSD do not seem to be installed:

Does this look reasonable (y/n)? y

Fetching metadata signature for 14.2-RELEASE-p4 from update2.freebsd.org... failed.
Fetching metadata signature for 14.2-RELEASE-p4 from update1.freebsd.org... failed.
Fetching metadata signature for 14.2-RELEASE-p4 from dualstack.aws.update.freebsd.org... failed.
No mirrors remaining, giving up.

This may be because upgrading from this platform (amd64)
or release (14.2-RELEASE-p4) is unsupported by freebsd-update. Only
platforms with Tier 1 support can be upgraded by freebsd-update.
See https://www.freebsd.org/platforms/ for more info.

If unsupported, FreeBSD must be upgraded by source.

edit: I was trying to have a new kernel version that match the patch of the user-land. Dummie. Obviously it didn't work.
 
Code: 
freebsd-version -kru
14.2-RELEASE-p1
14.2-RELEASE-p1
14.2-RELEASE-p4

?? so I need to reboot ? I don't understand the upgrade didn't went trough

edit: here everything is fine but I didn't understand.
 
OK, my bad, part4 is user land only. It's that message that confused me:
No updates needed to update system to 14.2-RELEASE-p4.

edit: Here I did finally understand.
 
Hi,

You mixed things up completely.

Those are different tasks:
1) security updates apply patches that's what the 'pN' stands for (14.2-p2 to 14.2-p3)
docs.freebsd.org

Chapter 26. Updating and Upgrading FreeBSD

Information about how to keep a FreeBSD system up-to-date with freebsd-update or Git, how to rebuild and reinstall the entire base system, etc
docs.freebsd.org docs.freebsd.org
2) a minor upgrade will change the number near the release (14.2 to 14.3)
3) a major upgrade will change the release number (13.5 to 14.2)
docs.freebsd.org

Chapter 26. Updating and Upgrading FreeBSD

Information about how to keep a FreeBSD system up-to-date with freebsd-update or Git, how to rebuild and reinstall the entire base system, etc
docs.freebsd.org docs.freebsd.org

Each of these tasks require a different command and procedure, looking at the title of this thread and the commands you typed let me think that you are confused, I might be wrong but your other thread unfortunately could eventually confirm my thought.

If you have trouble to understand what the handbook says I suggested you the book "Absolute FreeBSD" which is a bit "more friendly" therefore easier to follow.

Thread 'Some books/materials for getting started with FreeBSD'

I have installed FreeBSD in VirtualBox, it just copied the kernel, base, lib and does some configs
Is there any book that write about command line (tools and script) using in FreeBSD
And a book that provide much knowledge helping me for configuring tasks.
And then how can I proceed to programming in userland and in kernel.

At the biggining have mixed things up but finally understood that p4 updated the user land only so everything was ok, that's why there's a solved flag on top of that tread. As for the other tread it's not related to updating 14.2 but upgrading to 14.3 which updated zfs and a all lots of things in the kernel. So it's totally unrelated and different. I did understood that I had already updated to p4 with freebsd-update fetch install after I had understood it I have upgraded to 14.3 using upgrade options and the release 14.3. , your answer came to late and can be confusing, Thanks.

I found the handbook is clear and well written only if you take the time to read it (if you have it) or don't have the bad habit of taking it for a tutorial and a ready made recipe for your queries. like I often do (cause of lack of time), copy and past without reading.
