For example, if "src" is not listed when the original update was done, it should be possible to add it to the "Components" argument and rerun. Or if it is desired to prune a portion of the system, it should be possible to change the "Components" argument to "src/sys src/base world kernel" to prune the installed src. Or if StrictComponents was set at the default and for some reason src was not updated, it should be possible to change it to "yes" and rerun to get src updated. >How-To-Repeat: >From a 9.2-RELEASE system, run # freebsd-update -r 9.2-RELEASE upgrade freebsd-update: Cannot upgrade from 9.2-RELEASE to itself >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
