How to keep a jail's userland current?

[Christoph Haas]

Hi,

is there a supported way to keep a jail's installed userland up to date? I tried running freebsd-update inside a jail, but that does not work. While running "freebsd-update fetch" is able to get all the required updates, running "freebsd-update install" leaves me with the following error message:

root@web:~ # freebsd-update install
Installing updates...chflags: ///lib/libcrypt.so.5: Operation not permitted

The FreeBSD handbook tells me to run freebsd-update on the host system and direct it to perform the update within the jail's base directory, but freebsd-update is not installed on the FreeNAS host.

What is the correct way to keep the userland current in a FreeNAS-jail?

Curious,
Christoph
