mtree: No such file or directory

Hello,

running recent CURRENT, FreeBSD 16.0-CURRENT #0 main-n287956-30ccf2f48c11: Wed Aug  5 09:54:38
CEST 2026 amd64, I realise a strange and/or unkown behaviour of mtree - out of the sudden
(used regularily daily) since today's update:

mtree -c -i -j -n -k uname,gname,mode,nochange -p ../Files >Files.mtree.wrk
mtree: ./etc: No such file or directory

Sometimes it is ./bin which is missing.

"Files" is a folder used in nanobsd environment, containing some customized files.

But you can see for yourself, using the above sketched command sequence of mtree, mtree always
bails out with some missing directory error.

Do I have missed something essential in changes of behaviour?

Thanks a lot,

Oliver
