Always on a Friday - Problems with freebsd-update

[James B. Byrne]

I see this on only ONE of my Freebsd-11 hosts:

# freebsd-update fetch
src component not installed, skipped
Looking up update.FreeBSD.org mirrors... 4 mirrors found.
Fetching metadata signature for 11.0-RELEASE from
update4.freebsd.org... failed.
Fetching metadata signature for 11.0-RELEASE from
update5.freebsd.org... failed.
Fetching metadata signature for 11.0-RELEASE from
update6.freebsd.org... failed.
Fetching metadata signature for 11.0-RELEASE from
update3.freebsd.org... failed.
No mirrors remaining, giving up.

However, running pkg upgrade on the same system produces these results:

# pkg upgrade

All repositories are up-to-date.

The following 7 package(s) will be affected (of 0 checked):

        bash: 4.4.5 -> 4.4.11

Installed packages to be REINSTALLED:

I have successfully run freebsd-update on other FreeBSD-11 hosts that
are on the same network.  It is just this one that I am encountering
the problem.

Any ideas on how to resolve it?
