    The FreeBSD Project

    Topic: freebsd-update to 14.0 fails

    Category: core
    Module: freebsd-update
    Announced: 2023-10-03
    Affects: All supported versions of FreeBSD.
    Corrected: 2023-10-01 16:33:03 UTC (stable/13, 13.2-STABLE)
    2023-10-03 21:22:19 UTC (releng/13.2, 13.2-RELEASE-p4)
    2023-10-01 16:35:16 UTC (stable/12, 12.4-STABLE)
    2023-10-03 22:15:37 UTC (releng/12.4, 12.4-RELEASE-p6)

    For general information regarding FreeBSD Errata Notices and Security Advisories, including descriptions of the fields above, security
    branches, and the following sections, please visit <URL:https://security.FreeBSD.org/>.

    I. Background

    freebsd-update provides binary updates for supported releases of FreeBSD on amd64, arm64, and i386.

    II. Problem Description

    freebsd-update was unable to handle the case where a file in the "old"
    version changed to a directory in the "new" version. This case occurs with upgrades to FreeBSD 14.0, as /usr/include/c++/v1/__string exists as a file
    in 12.4 and 13.2, and as a directory in FreeBSD 14.0.

    III. Impact

    Using freebsd-update to upgrade to FreeBSD 14.0 emits errors during install
    and results in a system with broken C++ headers.

    IV. Workaround

    No workaround is available.

    V. Solution

    Upgrade your system to a supported FreeBSD stable or release / security
    branch (releng) dated after the correction date.

    Perform one of the following:

    1) To update your system via a binary patch:

    Systems running a RELEASE version of FreeBSD on the amd64, i386, or
    (on FreeBSD 13 and later) arm64 platforms can be updated via the freebsd-update(8) utility:

    # freebsd-update fetch
    # freebsd-update install

    2) To update your system via a source code patch:

    The following patches have been verified to apply to the applicable
    FreeBSD release branches.

    a) Download the relevant patch from the location below, and verify the
    detached PGP signature using your PGP utility.

    # fetch https://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/EN-23:12/freebsd-update.patch
    # fetch https://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/EN-23:12/freebsd-update.patch.asc # gpg --verify freebsd-update.patch.asc

    b) Apply the patch. Execute the following commands as root:

    # cd /usr/src
    # patch < /path/to/patch

    c) Recompile the operating system using buildworld and installworld as described in <URL:https://www.FreeBSD.org/handbook/makeworld.html>.

    VI. Correction details

    This issue is corrected by the corresponding Git commit hash or Subversion revision number in the following stable and release branches:

    Branch/path Hash Revision
    - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- stable/13/ 774cc6348a50 stable/13-n256442 releng/13.2/ cfb624d7e250 releng/13.2-n254634 stable/12/ r373223 releng/12.4/ r373232
    - -------------------------------------------------------------------------

    For FreeBSD 13 and later:

    Run the following command to see which files were modified by a
    particular commit:

    # git show --stat <commit hash>

    Or visit the following URL, replacing NNNNNN with the hash:

    <URL:https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/commit/?id=NNNNNN>

    To determine the commit count in a working tree (for comparison against
    nNNNNNN in the table above), run:

    # git rev-list --count --first-parent HEAD

    For FreeBSD 12 and earlier:

    Run the following command to see which files were modified by a particular revision, replacing NNNNNN with the revision number:

    # svn diff -cNNNNNN --summarize svn://svn.freebsd.org/base

    Or visit the following URL, replacing NNNNNN with the revision number:

    <URL:https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base?view=revision&revision=NNNNNN>
