Question
Freebsd 10.2 update no mirrors found / invalid signature
I’ve found a number of posts online about this, but the answers are a bit above my skill level. Surely somebody running FreeBSD on Digital Ocean has/had the same problem.
# sudo freebsd-update fetch
Looking up update.FreeBSD.org mirrors... 5 mirrors found.
Fetching metadata signature for 10.2-RELEASE from update6.freebsd.org... invalid signature.
Fetching metadata signature for 10.2-RELEASE from update5.freebsd.org... invalid signature.
Fetching metadata signature for 10.2-RELEASE from update4.freebsd.org... invalid signature.
Fetching metadata signature for 10.2-RELEASE from update2.freebsd.org... invalid signature.
Fetching metadata signature for 10.2-RELEASE from update3.freebsd.org... invalid signature.
No mirrors remaining, giving up.
Regarding this solution:
Edit /etc/freebsd-update.conf and check the line:
Components src world kernel
and change it to:
Components world kernel
My freebsd-update.conf was already set up like that.

Hi, never had this problem on FreeBSD. Looking on the official FreeBSD forum it looks like a DNS problem. Can you check the settings of your DNS (
/etc/resolv.conf
)?My
/etc/resolv.conf
is:Those are the Google DNS. They work very well.
