Hi! Down is the output of update procedure on my FreeBSD 10.1-RELEASE droplet. Is this inconsistency between uname and fb-ver commands. One saying it is 10.1-RELEASE-p6 and freebsd-version 10.1-RELEASE-p8

Found this bug entry https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=198030. And give a solution.
Edit /etc/freebsd-update.conf and check the line: Components src world kernel
and change it to: Components world kernel
Thanks for this! Small hacks like this can make big difference. All works ok now
I’m actually having the same issue on a VMWare install, and that bug is not (for the parts I read) associated to it.
I performed a clean install of FreeBSD 10.1, then performed 2 updates at different dates. One bring it up to P3 or P4 (cannot recall exactly). The next one got me to P6, while still saying there is a P8 upgrade, but unable to perform it.
For what I can understand of the path that mkbuildinf.pl file goes, is that is stored in a subfolder where you download the FreeBSD sources. But if you lack them as I do, there is no crypto folder in src, because src is empty.
So I guess it was an oops from the FreeBSD developers, since src is only for people who customize and build the OS from sources, and for a while that has not been needed, except for certain corner cases.
