Hello list,

I wanted to update via freebsd-update from 6.2-RELEASE-p4 to
6.2-RELEASE-p5. But like you can see my system is after the update still
p4!

I have saved a script of my doing:

Script started on Mon Jul  9 22:55:13 2007
vagabund# freebsd-update fetch
Looking up update.FreeBSD.org mirrors... 1 mirrors found.
Fetching metadata signature from update1.FreeBSD.org... done.
Fetching metadata index... done.
Inspecting system... done.
Preparing to download files... done.

No updates needed to update system to 6.2-RELEASE-p5.
vagabund# freebsd-update install
No updates are available to install.
Run '/usr/sbin/freebsd-update fetch' first.
vagabund# uname -a
FreeBSD vagabund.w33 6.2-RELEASE-p4 FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE-p4 #0: Thu Apr

What is going wrong? Why he is not updating?

-p5 only affects one utility in userland, and not the kernel.
So the kernel at -p4 is itself ostensibly secure and doesn't
need to be updated.
