No, you couldn't encounter it. It comes in later. I have now the whole upgrade session of my third machine, the log is > 2 MB. Whenever I rebooted, it was okay: 1. reboot to start bsd.rd - okay 2. reboot directly after bsd.rd upgrade - okay 3. reboot after 'Final steps', before pkg_add - okay 4. reboot after 'Upgrading packages' - okay 5. reboot after patching - old files and wrong timestamps - bummer, as Theo might say. I wonder if I can put the file up into the open, or if it contains security-related matter.?? As bz2 it is just 91 k; I will of course make it available to individuals on request. Uwe
