Hi Trond and Alexus,
The tool used by freebsd-update to merge system files is "merge(1)", not
"mergemaster(8)".
See manpage merge(1)
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=merge&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=FreeBSD+9.2-RELEASE&arch=default&format=html
for
more information.
I use mergemaster(8) tool if I deal with sources system upgrade process.

Kind regards,
Alexandre

You need to semi-manually install a new version of mergemaster:

cd /usr/src/usr.sbin/mergemaster && make install

See the 20130430 entry in /usr/src/UPDATING.

The answers to those issues are found in 'man mtree'.

Thank you,
not sure where the fluff came from but the culprit was:
/usr/local/etc/mtree/BSD.gnome.dist:
which had group=wheel--- /etc/group 1 mode=0755

seems i might have other cruft too:
tar: +*: Not found in archive

Thanks.

I figured out everything I wanted to know from the manual page.  It's
a pretty good manual -- the reason it gives people trouble is just
that there are so *many* different things it can do.

In the "EXAMPLES" section of its manual, there is a formula for how to
"create an /etc/mtree style BSD.*.dist file" which is the first half
of what you want.  Offhand, I think "mtree -U" is enough to mash
everything back to the way the original specification described.

Start with the manpage, I guess ;)  There are also examples in /etc/mtree.

Unless we can establish what "this way" is, there isn't much we can do
about it.  It sounds like you've tried to create your test on the same
filesystem as the files that were showing the problems, so I'm not
sure what else to check.  Maybe you can see some differences in the
directory listings themselves?
