Okay, I am confused. I just read the literature at:
https://www.freebsd.org/security/advisories/FreeBSD-EN-14:13.freebsd-update.asc
The output of uname on my machine is:
FreeBSD 10.1-RELEASE #0 r274401: Tue Nov 11 21:02:49 UTC 2014
This is after I just ran freebsd-update (both fetch and install). It doesn't
look my my system was updated as shown on the web page.
I then read the info from the URL posted above.
My question is, do I have to make the changes the the "freebsd-update.conf"
file before I run "freebsd-update"? The components line reads:
# Components of the base system which should be kept updated.
Components src world kernel
Do I have to follow these instructions from the web page:
IV. Workaround
The first issue is strictly speaking a configuration error. To
address it, update /etc/freebsd-update.conf to reflect the set of
components that are installed on the system. Specifically, replace
"world" on the Components line with "world/base", and add "world/doc"
and / or "world/games" if those those components were selected during
installation.
The second issue is harmless and can safely be ignored. A workaround
has been put in place on the freebsd-update(8) build server so the error
will not occur while installing the update that corrects it.
I cannot afford to make my system "unbootable", so unless I am sure of what I
am doing, I would rather just leave it alone for now.
