"freebsd-update install" command fails on FreeBSD 10.1-RELEASE
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

it’s a known bug…

i assume you had to power cycle (hard reset) your droplet at one point after doing the update?
I did not experience any hang-out situation. I can reboot normally after update fails. It is with: “# freebsd-update install” that produces: “usr/src/crypto/openssl/util/mkbuildinf.pl: No such file or directory” that I’m worried about.
