upgrading to 8.0-RC2 failed

Hello,

I currently have a FreeBSD 8.0 RC1 box and I recently wanted to upgrade to RC2 through freebsd-update, but I've got these messages during the process:
Code: 
/usr/sbin/freebsd-update: cannot open files/.gz: No such file or directory

and then it asked me if I want to remove important files, like this one:
Code: 
The following file will be removed, as it no longer exists in
FreeBSD 8.0-RC2: /etc/amd.map
Does this look reasonable (y/n)?

I've googled and found nothing helpful. I hope someone have any idea here^^.

Greetings,
Thank you for reading.
 
I've never performed binary updates, so I can't be of much help there. Have you tried upgrading from the source?
 
Im seeing exactly the same now with 8.1-RC2 did you manage to sort it? Have tried a few things - including clearing out the freebsd-update directory in /var.

Going to try a binary update with the ISO later when im at the box...
