Dear kind folks,

when running freebsd-update fetch
I get error above.  I had not gotten this error message before.

root at e154-1:~ # freebsd-update fetch
Looking up update.FreeBSD.org mirrors... none found.
Fetching metadata signature for 12.1-RELEASE from update.FreeBSD.org... failed.
No mirrors remaining, giving up.

This may be because upgrading from this platform (amd64)
or release (12.1-RELEASE) is unsupported by freebsd-update. Only
platforms with Tier 1 support can be upgraded by freebsd-update.
See https://www.freebsd.org/platforms/index.html for more info.

If unsupported, FreeBSD must be upgraded by source.
root at e154-1:~ # uname -a
FreeBSD e154-1 12.1-RELEASE-p2 FreeBSD 12.1-RELEASE-p2 GENERIC  amd64
root at e154-1:~ #

I rerun it and it runs correctly:


Best Regards,


Antonio
