freebsd-update unsupported

Hi.

after updating to 13.3-p7 or newer FreeBSD versions I've got the following error message.

sh: 
root@wallace:/usr/ports/sysutils/pftop # uname -r
13.3-RELEASE-p7

root@wallace:/usr/ports/sysutils/pftop # freebsd-version -k
13.3-RELEASE-p7

root@wallace:/usr/ports/sysutils/pftop # freebsd-update fetch
Looking up update.FreeBSD.org mirrors... none found.
Fetching metadata signature for 13.3-RELEASE from update.FreeBSD.org... failed.
No mirrors remaining, giving up.

This may be because upgrading from this platform (amd64)
or release (13.3-RELEASE) is unsupported by freebsd-update. Only
platforms with Tier 1 support can be upgraded by freebsd-update.
See https://www.freebsd.org/platforms/ for more info.

If unsupported, FreeBSD must be upgraded by source.

I also tried to update to 13.4 and 14.2. After this, I've got the same message. I can do a freebsd-update rollback and then update to a newer version, but at this point I'll get this message.

Any Idea how I can solve this?
Thanks
Steffen

You shouldn't get the same message after upgrade.

I've got the same message after ALL upgrades. I can do a freebsd-update rollback to 13.3-p3 and then I can upgrade to any version. After this I will get the same message.

I try to nuke the dir.
 
Yes, 13.3 is EoL but that's not the reason for the error message. Even EoL versions can be updated, at the very least up to their last patch version (for 13.3 that would be p8).

You have a different problem:
Code: 
Looking up update.FreeBSD.org mirrors... none found.
Fetching metadata signature for 13.3-RELEASE from update.FreeBSD.org... failed.
The claim you have an unsupported version is simply because it failed to get the metadata, then it falls back to a fairly generic "this must be unsupported" kind of error message.

DNS not working properly perhaps? Or some other issue with outgoing connections.

I double checked. That seems the problem. Some changes from 13.3-p3 to newer version. It seems I have config issues with ipv6. Good thing all my services are fine, web site and mail system.

I found the problem. I used
sh: 
drill update.freebsd.org
to test my setup and to fix my rc.conf. Now after my last rollback I will try to update to the latest 13.3 patch level and then go to 13.4 and then to 14.2.
