Upgrade to 12.2 via freebsd-update: Fetching metadata signature fails from update4

[Lars Liedtke]

Hello,
was updating two test hosts from 12.2-RC1 and 2 and today a production
system from 11.3.

I got this message running 'freebsd-update upgrade -r 12.2-RELEASE':

Fetching metadata signature for 12.2-RELEASE from update4.freebsd.org...
failed.
Fetching metadata signature for 12.2-RELEASE from update1.freebsd.org...
done.

Because it works from a different mirror, this is no problem at all,
just wanted to share in case someone wanted to know.

The machines I upgraded are located in Germany and resolve the update
resources like this:
