I have two very strange deviances regarding patching 12.0-RELEASE.
1. When I run
Nevertheless I can't imaging why this happens while it's my first update with FreeBSD. Any thoughts and suggestions?
2. The stranger goes with jail. In addition to the problem 1 (and it's worse when I tried
I was astonished to see a double slash between jail and new file paths.
I'm a newbie to FreeBSD (and to UNIX for that matter...) and probably there is a simple explanation for both my problem (I guess they are related somehow). Anyway, any thoughts and help are really welcome.
Edit: While I was waiting for a reply here, I figured out the problem 1. The issue was with PAGER env in .cshrc and .profile. When I tried to get rid of the PAGER after my first hopeless try with
freebsd-update fetch it ended up with END in the end of the screen and I can't get it over. I have read a couple threads here that suggested to press q or :q. But in my case it could't help. After each ':q' ('q' doesn't respond at all) the prompt goes back to END sign. The first ':q' resulted with the line /usr/share/zoneinfo/Asia/Qostanay and then nothing. After several repeated ':q' (I guess 5-7) the prompt came back and I could proceed with freebsd-update install. Frankly, I was so afraid to ruin my brand-new 6-jail-in-a-box installation, that I chose to repeat the freebsd-update fetch with idiotic hope on another outcome. On some keys (e.g. space bar) it showed a column of '~' on the left (like when I faced the vi editor the very first time). There was a lot bells on other keys...Nevertheless I can't imaging why this happens while it's my first update with FreeBSD. Any thoughts and suggestions?
2. The stranger goes with jail. In addition to the problem 1 (and it's worse when I tried
fetch install - it simply stuck and the ^С was only solution) I got the following:
Code:
17:14 /root # freebsd-update -f /etc/jail-freebsd-update.conf -b /jail/mariadb --currently-running `jexec -l mariadb freebsd-version` install

Edit: While I was waiting for a reply here, I figured out the problem 1. The issue was with PAGER env in .cshrc and .profile. When I tried to get rid of the PAGER after my first hopeless try with
fetch the system probably replaced it with vi. After I set the PAGER in .cshrc and .profile back the 'q' works (I still have to press it several times though, but at least it works without a deviance). The second problem still on the way...
