Solved Unable to update from FreeBSD 14.2-p5 to 14.2-p6

I want to update from FreeBSD 14.2-p5 to 14.2-p6 according to the Errata Notice. However, the result of running freebsd-update is the message: "No updates needed to update the system to 14.2-RELEASE-p5". Why doesn't freebsd-update offer an update to the latest patch 14.2-p6?
 
Strange. I'm experiencing the same. Indeed, where is 14.2-RELEASE-p6?

(reboot doesn't change that either)
 
Right, it's arm64 only. All on amd64 will not be getting a 'p6' via binary updates.
The complete name & URL of the EN, dated 2025-09-16, is FreeBSD-EN-25:15.arm64:

However, if one builds from source, then I expect you do get a 'p6', because, releng/14.2 - newvers.sh:
Code: 
TYPE="FreeBSD"
REVISION="14.2"
BRANCH="RELEASE-p6"
