            Bug ID: 251743
           Summary: uname -r shows 12.2-RELEASE-p1 on 12.2-RELEASE-p2
           Product: Base System
           Version: 12.2-RELEASE
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: bin
          Assignee: bugs at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: contact at evilham.com

After upgrading a system to 12.2-RELEASE-p2, I was super confused, and not as
innocuously, some automation and provisioning broke due to following:

# uname -r
12.2-RELEASE-p1

# freebsd-update fetch
Looking up update.FreeBSD.org mirrors... 3 mirrors found.
Fetching metadata signature for 12.2-RELEASE from update2.freebsd.org... done.
Fetching metadata index... done.
Inspecting system... done.
Preparing to download files... done.

No updates needed to update system to 12.2-RELEASE-p2.

# freebsd-version 
12.2-RELEASE-p2


Was this a slip on latest patch due to how quickly it had to be prepared? Or is
uname -r an unreliable way to get the patch version on FreeBSD?
