Hi,
I'm trying to upgrade a system from 8.0-RELEASE to 8.1-RELEASE, but I have
the following (non critical) errors :
/usr/sbin/freebsd-update: cannot open files/.gz: No such file or directory
This line appears hundred of times.
After that, freebsd-update claims that many files are non existent in the
new version and ask to delete them :
/usr/sbin/freebsd-update: cannot open files/.gz: No such file or directory
/usr/sbin/freebsd-update: cannot open files/.gz: No such file or directory
/usr/sbin/freebsd-update: cannot open files/.gz: No such file or directory
/usr/sbin/freebsd-update: cannot open files/.gz: No such file or directory
/usr/sbin/freebsd-update: cannot open files/.gz: No such file or directory
/usr/sbin/freebsd-update: cannot open files/.gz: No such file or directory
Attempting to automatically merge changes in files... done.
The following file will be removed, as it no longer exists in
FreeBSD 8.1-RELEASE: /boot/device.hints
Does this look reasonable (y/n)? n
I have updated other systems without any difficulty (from the same 8.0 patch
level to 8.1).
I tried to delete /var/db/freebsd-update folder, but it changes nothing.
Same error.
I found older posts with people searching in the code which function did the
error, but because everything was fine with the same context on other
systems I think freebsd-update is mislead (it seems to miss the name of the
file) at some point.
Does anyone have some hints or direction to follow ?
I reported this a while ago and try to get in touch with Colin
Percival with no luck. I finally could afford a fresh install.
Thanks,

What is the exact command line you are running that gets this error?
