Hi all,

I’m currently running 10.1-RELEASE-p1 and I wanted to update to 10.1-RELEASE-p2 using freebsd-update. Running freebsd-update prints the following:

# freebsd-update fetch
Looking up update.FreeBSD.org mirrors... 5 mirrors found.
Fetching metadata signature for 10.1-RELEASE from update5.freebsd.org... done.
Fetching metadata index... done.
Inspecting system... done.
Preparing to download files... done.

The following files will be removed as part of updating to 10.1-RELEASE-p2:
/

# freebsd-update install
Installing updates...rmdir: ///: Is a directory
 done.

It doesn’t look like anything was actually removed, but the update didn’t install/change anything either.

Running ezjail-admin update -u basically has the same issue, but additionally I’m getting a ton of these:

# ezjail-admin update -u
