Description dmilith 2015-06-14 18:25:18 UTC 
On many workstations /usr/src doesn't exists but freebsd-update probably can't create his dirs, which causes update to be "available" over and over again. I have no idea if patching /usr/src is desired behaviour at all (?).

Here's log on my machines: 


ng0b ~ # freebsd-update fetch install
Looking up update.FreeBSD.org mirrors... 5 mirrors found.
Fetching metadata signature for 10.1-RELEASE from update4.freebsd.org... done.
Fetching metadata index... done.
Inspecting system... done.

The following files will be added as part of updating to 10.1-RELEASE-p12:
/usr/src/contrib/file/magic/Magdir/kerberos
/usr/src/contrib/file/magic/Magdir/meteorological
/usr/src/contrib/file/magic/Magdir/qt
/usr/src/crypto/openssl/util/mkbuildinf.pl

Allright. I just discovered man freebsd-update.conf ;)

I am also getting this error. Why was the bug closed fixed? Did you change something? 

I uncommented AllowAdd yes and AllowDelete yes
in /etc/freebsd-update.conf and re-ran fetch ... install
but nothing changed.

TWIMC: the "fix" here seems to be remove src from the Components line in freebsd-update.conf

After doing so I get this result, running it on 10.1-RELEASE-p10 
mdf@dogma:~>sudo /usr/sbin/freebsd-update fetch
Looking up update.FreeBSD.org mirrors... none found.
Fetching metadata signature for 10.1-RELEASE from update.FreeBSD.org... done.

No updates needed to update system to 10.1-RELEASE-p14.
