Hi,

I'm not sure if the stable list is the correct place to report this,
but currently binary updates are not working. I see posts on the forum
but no solutions are being offered (other than updates from source,
which are difficult on production systems missing the src component).
Something broke recently, it worked to update from RELEASE to -p1.

Symptoms are like this (note that the system is -p1 already but the binay
updater identifies it as -p0):

[root at www ~]# freebsd-version 
10.3-RELEASE-p1
[root at www ~]# freebsd-update fetch
src component not installed, skipped
Looking up update.FreeBSD.org mirrors... none found.
Fetching metadata signature for 10.3-RELEASE from update.FreeBSD.org... done.
Fetching metadata index... done.
Inspecting system... done.
Preparing to download files... done.

No updates needed to update system to 10.3-RELEASE-p0.
[root at www ~]#

I deleted /var/db/freebsd-update/* and tried again, same result.
