           Summary: freebsd-update prints error output to stdout instead

Diff for /usr/sbin/freebsd-update

If the /usr/sbin/freebsd-update script fails, it prints messages explaining why
to stdout instead of stderr. Running it from a command-line, this works fine,
but it's a problem when you want to run it from a Go script and only print the
errors but not the normal output, as I was doing when I found this. I've
attached a diff that should fix this.

I've never done this before, so sorry if I'm doing it wrong, or if this
actually isn't a bug for some reason I don't understand.
