Hi,
I'm trying to upgrade a system from 8.0-RELEASE to 8.1-RELEASE, but
I have
the following (non critical) errors :
/usr/sbin/freebsd-update: cannot open files/.gz: No such file or
directory
This line appears hundred of times.
After that, freebsd-update claims that many files are non existent
in the
new version and ask to delete them :
/usr/sbin/freebsd-update: cannot open files/.gz: No such file or
directory
/usr/sbin/freebsd-update: cannot open files/.gz: No such file or
directory
/usr/sbin/freebsd-update: cannot open files/.gz: No such file or
directory
/usr/sbin/freebsd-update: cannot open files/.gz: No such file or
directory
/usr/sbin/freebsd-update: cannot open files/.gz: No such file or
directory
/usr/sbin/freebsd-update: cannot open files/.gz: No such file or
directory
Attempting to automatically merge changes in files... done.
The following file will be removed, as it no longer exists in
FreeBSD 8.1-RELEASE: /boot/device.hints
Does this look reasonable (y/n)? n
I have updated other systems without any difficulty (from the same
8.0 patch
level to 8.1).
I tried to delete /var/db/freebsd-update folder, but it changes
nothing.
Same error.
I found older posts with people searching in the code which function
did the
error, but because everything was fine with the same context on other
systems I think freebsd-update is mislead (it seems to miss the name
of the
file) at some point.
Does anyone have some hints or direction to follow ?
I reported this a while ago and try to get in touch with Colin
Percival with no luck. I finally could afford a fresh install.
Thanks,

What is the exact command line you are running that gets this error?
I'm exactly using :
freebsd-update -r 8.1-RELEASE upgrade
I'm sticking the manual, but using a custom kernel. At this stage this
should change nothing.
# uname
-a
[r...@backup]
FreeBSD backup.cyanide-studio.com 8.0-RELEASE-p1 FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE-p1
#3: Mon Dec 7 14:44:37 CET 2009
r...@backup.cyanide-studio.com:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GEOMKERNEL amd64
I installed the 8.0-RELEASE from CDs, as you can see I updated to
patchlevel 1 without trouble.
The only difference from other systems may be these geom drivers.
Here is the complete command output,
I said yes to the first question to show you how bad the question is :
