Hi,

I think I know what happened. I have this line in cron which I forgot to disable:
"@daily freebsd-update cron && freebsd-update updatesready > /dev/null && freebsd-update install"

On my RPI3 a full upgrade takes a while so I let it run overnight. Last night I tried again and the cron job now gave me error mails. That is how I found out.

Now running an upgrade with this line commented out.

Regards,
Ronald.
