--- Comment #2 from [email protected] --- A commit references this bug: Author: cperciva Date: Mon Dec 22 21:52:38 UTC 2014 New revision: 276086 URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/276086 Log: Strip trailing / characters from paths in "not present" index entries, not just "directory" entries. Prior to this commit, if / was added as part of a security update (how? In the most recent case, because lib32 was accidentally omitted and was then re-added, and every installer distribution set gets its own paths) then the code which was supposed to filter out updates to deleted parts of the base system (if someone decides to delete / then we shouldn't re-create it for them) would instead get confused and decided that while / should exist, // should not exist and needs to be removed. This fixes the bug which caused freebsd-update to want to delete / (which is harmless, since `rm /` fails, but scary nonetheless). A workaround is being applied to the update bits in order to avoid triggering the bug on unpatched systems.
