Hi everyone,
First post here - so I'm hopeful I'm for some help!
I have two FreeBSD servers running Rel 12, following output is identical on both:
Both systems have the package grub2-bhyve installed - I ran pkg update on both systems, after which I ran pkg upgrade (just to see the list of packages that would be upgraded, did not actually install).
On both servers the grub2-bhyve package in not listed, so presumably both are up to date.
I noted that on one system, the package behaved as expected, whereas on the other it did not. I came across the following error:
The libc version on both systems are identical (and was also not listed in pkg upgrade output, so both are up to date), but /usr/local/sbin/grub-bhyve had different sizes. Copying this file from the working system to the other, the above error disappeared & it started working as expected.
Looking closer at the installed grub2-bhyve package on each system:
Working:
Broken:
So in both cases the package version is 0.40_8, but the content differs. I note the FreeBSD version listed in each package has a different value.
From https://docs.freebsd.org/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/versions-12.html
So it looks like I have different FreeBSD versions after all?
Looking at the cached packages:
Working:
Broken:
So, the questions are:
- how could the 'broken' system get into this state?
- how can I 'repair' the 'broken' system so pkg pulls matching versions of grub2-bhyve and libc?
Many thanks for any pointers!
Fred
