Updating from FreeBSD RELEASE 13.3 P0 to 14.0 P5 by following the instructions at <https://www.freebsd.org/releases/14.0R/installation/#upgrade> failed to remove obsolete files. This failure occurs after updating installed packages and the final run of “freebsd-update install” as the root user, which returns the folowing: # freebsd-update install src component not installed, skipped Installing updates...rmdir: ///usr/tests/usr.bin/uuencode: Directory not empty rmdir: ///usr/tests/usr.bin/uudecode: Directory not empty done. The source freebsd-src-main/ObsoleteFiles.inc file contains as a comment “# 20220418: uudecode merged into uuencode and renamed to bintrans” confirming that the /usr/tests/usr.bin/uuencode directory should have been removed. Checking the /usr/tests/usr.bin directory confirmed that the uuencode directory was not empty and was not renamed, and that the the uudecode directory had not been merged. Other files and directories listed in ObsoleteFiles.inc to be removed were not, indicating the failure to remove or rename the uuencode directory prevented processing of the ObsoleteFiles.inc file by freebsd-update. Since the rmdir directory command was chosen to be run, it might be that the contents of the uuencode and uudecode directories were intended to be moved to a new bintrans directory leaving uuencode and uudecode empty and then possible to remove by running rmdir.
