Hey,

I'm trying upgrade my FreeBSD server from 9.2 to 10.0-RELEASE but when I run command freebsd-update upgrade -r 10.0-RELEASE I got some error:
Code: 
root@ks3360102:~ # freebsd-update upgrade -r 10.0-RELEASE
Looking up update.FreeBSD.org mirrors... 5 mirrors found.
Fetching metadata signature for 9.2-RELEASE from update2.freebsd.org... done.
Fetching metadata index... done.
Fetching 1 metadata files... failed.
root@ks3360102:~ #

I did that before and everything was ok. What's wrong?

Greetz,

Hello friends.

I am trying an upgrade from 9.1 to 10.0.

Code: 
freebsd-update upgrade -r 10.0-RELEASE
Looking up update.FreeBSD.org mirrors... 5 mirrors found.
Fetching metadata signature for 9.1-RELEASE from update6.freebsd.org... done.
Fetching metadata index... done.
Inspecting system... done.

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

The following components of FreeBSD do not seem to be installed:
world/doc world/games

Does this look reasonable (y/n)? y

Fetching metadata signature for 10.0-RELEASE from update6.freebsd.org... done.
Fetching metadata index... done.

The update metadata is correctly signed, but
failed an integrity check.
Cowardly refusing to proceed any further.

I also tried
Code: 
 sed -i '' -e 's/=_/=%@_/' /usr/sbin/freebsd-update

I also tried to change the env to

Code: 
# setenv PACKAGESITE ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/10.0-RELEASE/

Still I am having the first error. please someone guide me.

Have you fully updated your systems ( freebsd-update fetch install) before trying to upgrade them? There are two errata notices mentioned in the 10.0-RELEASE announcement concerning freebsd-update.

Ehh. Of course you're right. Works perfectly :D
 
Thank you @jyunatou and @bryn1u.

After
Code: 
freebsd-update fetch install

I followed the normal procedure and i was able to upgrade to 10.0. This was followed by pkg update, reboot and again freebsd-update install.

Presently, re0 is down by default. I have to use

Code: 
 service netif restart
service routing restart

to connect to the internet.

Lastly it shows starting slim, but i am unable to get the graphical login screen. I did the last command of freebsd-update install to remove the old libraries on the command prompt.

Please any suggestions.

pkg upgrade instead of pkg update maybe.
 
Ok I am sorry the command used was:

pkg upgrade

I tried to

$startxfce4

I got the error message
Code: 
unable to locate shared object libcrypto.so.6 needed to start X

I tried to deinstall and install xorg but I got the error

Code: 
does not know how to make install xorg

Please point me in correct direction.
 
I trying to upgrade a v9.0 system and I keep getting that same error message, even after running that sed patch and of course the fetch command etc. Not sure what to try next.
 
@ankscorek, some of your packages are still from 9.x. A pkg upgrade only upgrades packages that happen to be out of date. You need to reinstall all packages. A pkg upgrade -f should do the trick.

@cbrace, what error message?

I tried this but I got an error.

Code: 
pkg cannot error as it cannot locate libarchive.so.5

I tried running portmaster -af. This also failed.

Any suggestions please.
 
pkg-static upgrade -f is what you want in this situation.

I tried this but the error received was

Error while trying to install/upgrade packages, as there are unmet dependencies

Any suggestions please.

PLease do i need to do a fresh install?

Please scroll up you will be able to upgrade but then you will face the problem where I am stuck.

The command
Code: 
pkg-static upgrade -f

downloads utility but then later it shows lots of conflicts and then the system again is stuck asking for the library files. At least I am not getting unmet dependencies error.

Main conflict it is showing with perl5. I am unable to remove it using any command. pkg-static install xorg tells me that xorg is already installed.

startx tells me unable to locate libcrypto.so.6

This problem started after the last usage of command which is
Code: 
freebsd-update install
prior to this I was getting X working properly
any suggestions please.

The problem lies in a broken version of freebsd-update(8) which got fixed in FreeBSD 9.0-RC1. To fix your version simply run the following command:
# sed -i '' -e 's/=_/=%@_/' /usr/sbin/freebsd-update
