FreeBSD agathon.localdomain 7.2-STABLE FreeBSD 7.2-STABLE #0: Sat May 30 09:28:34 EEST 2009     root@agathon.localdomain:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  amd64
>Description:
Now, I *know* you are only supposed to use freebsd-update to update installations done from official binaries and that it's not supposed to work on updating the -STABLE or -CURRENT branches. However, I believe that freebsd-update should be more verbose when failing to update such a system, explaining the reasons why. Right now, running freebsd-update fetch on a -STABLE system results in the following:

agathon# freebsd-update fetch
Looking up update.FreeBSD.org mirrors... 2 mirrors found.
Fetching metadata signature for 7.2-STABLE from update4.FreeBSD.org... failed.
Fetching metadata signature for 7.2-STABLE from update5.FreeBSD.org... failed.
No mirrors remaining, giving up.

There is absolutely no indication for the reasons of the failure.
>How-To-Repeat:
Install any version of FreeBSD that includes freebsd-update, do a source upgrade to -STABLE, install, reboot and run freebsd-update.
>Fix:
