Trying to upgrade a system from 9.2 -> 9.3 with freebsd-update and I get the
output below. Search has seen reports but not solutions. I also tried
upgrading to 10.1 and seeing similar issue those the "No such file or
directory" error only shows up once but is asking for me to manually merge
lots of unmodified files in /etc.
Anybody have a clue on what is going wrong?
