How exactly does blowing away your package cache or destroying your
package DB help with sorting out freebsd-update(8)? That is fixing the
wrong problem...
To answer the OPs actual query -- yes, something is wrong with at least
one of the patches you have downloaded with freebsd-update(8). You
should be able to find that broken patch file by name somewhere under
/var/db/freebsd-update -- simply removing that patch file and trying
again with 'freebsd-update fetch' _should_ get you an uncorrupted copy
of that particular patch. In principle you can check all the patches
for correctness as the patch filename is the SHA hash of the contents,
although you'll have to work out exactly which SHA variant is being
used, and whether the checksum has been calculated on the compressed
patch as downloaded or on the de-compressed content.
With luck you've only got a problem with that one patch file, but if the
corruption is much wider, then moving aside your existing
/var/db/freebsd-update and starting again from scratch is probably a
good idea.
If you consistently get broken patch files from whichever of the update
servers you get directed to, that probably means that update server
needs some TLC. Please do report that to clusteradm at ... While waiting
for them to sort out the problems, you can play with the 'ServerName'
parameter in /etc/freebsd-update.conf to point yourself towards some
other server.
Cheers,
Matthew
