            Bug ID: 195925
           Summary: freebsd-update(8) needed manual creation of paths to
                    install
           Product: Base System
           Version: 8.4-RELEASE
          Hardware: i386
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Many People
          Priority: ---
         Component: bin
          Assignee: freebsd-bugs at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: george at nycbug.org

freebsd-update(8) periodically seems to need full path to various /usr/src
directories when performing certain updates.

When updating on 8.4-RELEASE on i386, this message comes up:

The following files will be added as part of updating to 8.4-RELEASE-p20:
/usr/src/contrib/bind9/lib/isc/counter.c
/usr/src/contrib/bind9/lib/isc/include/isc/counter.h

However, by its nature of being a binary update, /usr/src may not to be
populated when running on small systems.

Manually creating the relevant paths seems to resolve the issue, however, this
seems an inadequate workaround.
