hmmm. Thanks for pointing me at the dns issue.
I actually did not see that message as it seems to only appear on
subsequent rounds of running freebsd-update. I always deleted
/var/db/freebsd-update and thus always started clean.
I was able to complete the freebsd-update upgrade when I manually
specified on of the mirrors as in:
freebsd-update -s update2.freebsd.org -r 10.2-RELEASE upgrade
So this does seem to be a dns related issue. It could also be the
related to parsing the results of the dns lookup.
Anyway seems we have a workaround if we specify the mirrors manually.
Greetings
Christian
