FreeBSD pc10.zytrax.com 6.2-STABLE FreeBSD 6.2-STABLE #0: Thu Aug 23 18:36:40 EDT 2007 root at pc10.zytrax.com:/var/src/sys/GENERIC i386
>Description:
Used a source upgrade from FreeBSD 5.3 to RELENG_6. Encountered a number of problems during the upgrade none of which, I think, would have caused the problem.
At the end of the upgrade there were two versions of freebsd-update (one in /usr/sbin and one in /usr/local/sbin) due to the PATH the older one (no version numbers in either one) was loaded first. 

>How-To-Repeat:
Impossible for me to re-create problem. I had not knowingly installed freebsd-update before but it could have been picked up as a dependency from a port under 5.3.
>Fix:
fix: rm/usr/sbin/freebsd-update
