freebsd-update fetch install - runs the update, but still report old release

[Håvard Sørli]

I run updates ( freebsd-update fetch install ) and looks like it's fine.
(reports sucessfull update to new release). I reboot and uname report
the old version. Any clue? ( I think it should report "11.4-RELEASE-p13" )


before reboot :

freebsd@xyz:~ % freebsd-version -k ; uname -r
11.4-RELEASE-p9
11.4-RELEASE-p9



After reboot :

freebsd@xyz:~ % sudo freebsd-update fetch install
src component not installed, skipped

No updates needed to update system to 11.4-RELEASE-p13.
No updates are available to install.

So what does freebsd-version -u say ? Chances are there are no
kernel changes between p9 and p13.

Saw this a lot. Nothing to worry about.

The system is up-to-date. Just that you had no kernel changes between
patch levels.

Mark.
