I started to run freebsd-update to upgrade a 8.x system
to 9.0-RELEASE

# freebsd-update -r 9.0-RELEASE upgrade

Looking up update.FreeBSD.org mirrors... 4 mirrors found.
Fetching metadata signature for 8.2-RELEASE from update5.FreeBSD.org... done.
Fetching metadata index... done.
Inspecting system... done.

The following components of FreeBSD seem to be installed:
kernel/generic src/base src/bin src/cddl src/contrib src/crypto src/etc
src/games src/gnu src/include src/krb5 src/lib src/libexec src/release
src/rescue src/sbin src/secure src/share src/sys src/tools src/ubin
src/usbin world/base world/dict world/doc world/info world/manpages
world/proflibs

The following components of FreeBSD do not seem to be installed:
world/catpages world/games world/lib32

Does this look reasonable (y/n)? yes

Fetching metadata signature for 9.0-RELEASE from update5.FreeBSD.org... done.
Fetching metadata index... done.

The update metadata is correctly signed, but
failed an integrity check.
Cowardly refusing to proceed any further.

#

What is the next step, here?

Thank you.

That's a known problem and fixable by first updating your 8.2-RELEASE
machine to the latest patch level before trying the update to 9.0
