Nobody on this issue? I've seen more people asking about this[1][2] but I couldn't find a solution. I made a back up of the /var/db/freebsd-update directory and renamed the files and merge directories. freebsd-update created them again, actually downloaded a bunch of files, but I got exactly the same error. I followed exactly the same procedure (described in the handbook) to go from 7.1 to 7.2 then to 8.0BETA1 and finally to 8.0BETA2. What is wrong with freebsd-update? If I did something wrong, how can I roll it back? Thanks for your time.
