            Bug ID: 195914
           Summary: freebsd-update loop on /usr/share/zoneinfo
           Product: Base System
           Version: 8.4-RELEASE
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Many People
          Priority: ---
         Component: misc
          Assignee: freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: freebsd@snth.eu

Since October my FreeBSD 8.4 systems (and 9.1) tell me that there are updates
available when I run `freebsd-update fetch`. The updates all reside in
/usr/share/zoneinfo. When I install them and run freebsd-update fetch, the same
updates are fetched:

# freebsd-update fetch

Fetching metadata signature for 8.4-RELEASE from update2.freebsd.org... done.

The following files will be updated as part of updating to 8.4-RELEASE-p20:

I have Nagios set up to monitor for new updates on FreeBSD and all my 8.4 and
9.1 systems are affected. 9.3 and 10.1 are not affected.
The difference between these systems is that on 8.4 and 9.1 these files are
hardlinks to one timezone file (not part of the perpetual update). On 9.3 and
10.1 these files are regular files (different inodes).

Could someone have a look at this and please tell me how to resolve this issue.

Thanks in advance.
