Have you upgraded to 14 yet?

@emaste Upgraded into a boot environment, and freebsd-update wouldn’t run the second install step after I rebooted into the new environment.

@overhacked can you recall what the symptoms were?

Thanks

@grahamperrin Yes, first time around I created a new boot environment, mounted it, then ran freebsd-update upgrade with -r and -d pointing into the mounted BE. Once that completed, I ran the first freebsd-update install (with -r & -d), which successfully installed the new kernel. I rebooted into the new BE, but when I ran freebsd-update install it reported no updates to install. Despite this, freebsd-version -u, in the new BE, reported the old release, while -k reported the new.

@overhacked gut feeling (not yet tested): in that scenario, I'd try installing userland updates into the mounted boot environment before booting into the environment.

@grahamperrin that is what I ended up doing. I installed userland and removed old libs directly into the new boot environment. I updated packages after rebooting, and everything worked fine.

@emaste Does pfSense count since it went out months ago?

@alexr @emaste pfSense is FreeBSD main, not 14.0 or stable/14.
The most recent releases are very close to 14.0, but not quite the same thing.

@emaste Forgot to update all the packages before the last reboot though. But thanks to pkg-static, it all went well in the end.

@andersgo can you recall, was your upgrade of packages with force (option -f), or without force?

Thanks

@grahamperrin Unfortunately my goldfish brain doesn't help me much now, but yes it may have been with -f option

@emaste 2/3 done now, one via binary, one via source to 14-STABLE. So far no problems.
