Tony,
for getting user support, there's questions or
stable. You may also
try one or the other web forum and IRC channel. security is not
the
right place for asking for support or chatting AFAIK.
In your case, you're experiencing a bug and that's what
GNATS is for.
You should consider filing a bug report (PR).
When filing a bug report, please include as much useful
information as
possible.
I've never worked with freebsd-update but from checking your
previous
posts, it seems like function "upgrade_merge()"
does not work well
($ does not get input). Your output seems to be a bit
garbled (out
of order output) and so I suggest you trying to get your
system
running with a plain vanilla GENERIC kernel before trying to
update.
If even that doesn't work out, please file a PR, run 'sh -x
freebsd-update.sh ...' as Andrew suggested and put the
output file
somewhere where someone can fetch it for debugging.
If you're in hurry or don't want to spend more time on this,
you can
always update your system the classical way (see handbook
for
instructions).
