 Has anyone managed to work past this error message?

 I just upgraded a system from 8.2 to 8.3 without a problem.  World build

 It sounds like you're missing source files.

 Try fetching the source from svn and starting over.

 svn co svn://svn.freebsd.org/base/releng/8.3/ /usr/src

 I pulled with `svn co https://svn0.us-west.FreeBSD.org/base/releng/8.3
 /usr/src`, so everything should be in order there.


Out of frustration I resorted to the last measure of a clean install.
I was afraid that I'd forgotten to record other filesystem changes and
that they were causing the error so I figured it would be the easiest
way to be sure.

There was one mention of this error message on the questions mailing
list that I'd missed earlier. In it the theory that file dates were
causing the error message was discussed. Prior to reinstallation I ran
`make -d A installworld` and in the verbose output was given a message
supporting that theory: that the error was caused by sys/param.h being
newer than osreldate.h, so it seems safe to say that was the cause.

In retrospect though it seems strange. If that really was the case it
makes little sense that a clean install would fix things. I built off
of the exact same code so it stands to reason that error message
should have presented itself again were the dates truly the cause. So
I'm not entirely certain, unfortunately.

At any rate, the problem has been resolved. For future readers
struggling with a similar problem I'd suggest fiddling with the
date-stamps to see if it resolves the error.

Thanks, all.

Check your time/date.

David Noel david.i.n...@gmail.com was heard to say:


I tried upgrading to 9.1 also but ran into a wall there as well:

Google points me to information that suggests the failure is caused by
a lack of disk space, but that doesn't seem applicable to my case as I
have plenty.

Could anyone offer insight into either of these errors?



Total disk space may not be an issue here, but I faintly recall that  
the default disk layout before 8.2 created too small a root partition.  
Rebuilding a kernel on 8.1 required more disk space on / than the  
default 500 MB. If that hits you here as well, you may need to resize  
partitions.


regards,
Markus
