I am getting a failure running mergemaster as per the FreeBSD handbook. I'm a 
bit lost as to what the error is telling me to do.

What was the method used to upgrade host system and jail? Did you used freebsd-update or make installworld?



# mergemaster -U -D /jails/anu_6002

realpath: /usr/src: No such file or directory

This means you don't have /usr/src so the mergemaster cannot make files in /var/tmp/temproot because these files are created from /usr/src

So make sure you have mounted /usr/src/ with source files for current version of the system (the version you need to update to) and then try this

cd /usr/src
mergemaster -F -v -i -P -U -t /var/tmp/mergemaster/anu_6002 -d -D /jails/anu_6002

   Use 'd' to delete the old /var/tmp/temproot and continue
   Use 't' to select a new temporary root directory
   Use 'e' to exit mergemaster

   Default is to use /var/tmp/temproot as is

How should I deal with this? [Use the existing /var/tmp/temproot] d
