The initial download and kernel-update to 15.0-RC2 went fine. `freebsd-update` directed me to reboot and run `freebsd-update install` to continue the upgrade. I did as directed, and then the upgrade stopped. The entire screen was filled with multiple copies of a message about `libsys.so.7` being missing. Every system binary was unusable, each reporting the same message. However, the `/rescue` binaries worked fine. It appears that `libc.so` depends upon `libsys.so.7` now. I think the installer/updater may have replaced `libc.so` in `/lib` before `libsys.so.7` could be installed.
You didn't follow the instructions to run 'freebsd-update fetch install' before upgrading. This was fixed in FreeBSD-EN-25:18.freebsd-update (aka in 14.3-p4). -- Colin Percival FreeBSD Release Engineering Lead & EC2 platform maintainer Founder, Tarsnap | www.tarsnap.com | Online backups for the truly paranoid
