Hi,

I am belatedly trying to update my 6.6 server.

# sysupgrade
ftp: Error retrieving file: 404 not found

Done all the preparatory steps, so should I presume this is no longer
possible?

best and thanks
Anne


Hi Anne,

Aside from doing clean install, maybe you can find a mirror somewhere that still has those files.

Look in sysupgrade source code to see which files it tries to download (and from where) then you may have some luck finding it on the internet.

I see that it's:

URL=${MIRROR}/${NEXT_VERSION}/${ARCH}/

and mirror is:
MIRROR=https://cdn.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD

Where you can find 6.8, 6.9, 7.0 and 7.1

Maybe it would be possible to update from 6.6 to 6.8 (which is still on mirrors), but I don't know if skipping a release is supported.

NEXT_VERSION is defined here:

if $RELEASE && [[ ${_KERNV[1]} == '-beta' ]]; then
        NEXT_VERSION=${_KERNV[0]}
else
        NEXT_VERSION=$(echo ${_KERNV[0]} + 0.1 | bc)
fi

So you could comment those 5 lines and put NEXT_VERSION=6.8

Again, doing this may be a bad idea.

Best regards
