Possible problem w/ freebsd-update
Good evening.
I am attempting to upgrade an instillation of 7.2-RELEASE (DesktopBSD 1.7) to 7.3-RELEASE, using the freebsd-update tool. The syntax I'm using is this: ] freebsd-update upgrade -r 7.3-RELEASE My plan is to work my way up to 8.1-RELEASE, but one step at a time. Anyway, when I invoke the command, it seems to go OK for a while, until I get this sequence of error messages: {begin error messages} Fetching files from 7.2-RELEASE for merging... done. Preparing to download files... [: files/Segmentation: unexpected operator Segmentation fault Segmentation fault [: !=: unexpected operator /usr/sbin/freebsd-update: cannot open tmpfile: No such file or directory Segmentation fault [: files/Segmentation: unexpected operator Segmentation fault Segmentation fault [: !=: unexpected operator /usr/sbin/freebsd-update: cannot open tmpfile: No such file or directory Segmentation fault [: files/Segmentation: unexpected operator Segmentation fault Segmentation fault [: !=: unexpected operator /usr/sbin/freebsd-update: cannot open tmpfile: No such file or directory Segmentation fault [: files/Segmentation: unexpected operator Segmentation fault Segmentation fault [: !=: unexpected operator /usr/sbin/freebsd-update: cannot open tmpfile: No such file or directory Segmentation fault Segmentation fault {end} Can anyone tell me where this segmentation fault is coming from, and what I can do (if anything) to rectify it? I think my current version of freebsd-update, but is there any way I can verify that? I'm not a rank amateur when it comes to BSD, but I'm far from an expert, so go easy on me. Thanks in advance, RJP |
