>Description:
Running "freebsd-update fetch" I get the following output:

=====
hopalong# freebsd-update fetch
Looking up update.FreeBSD.org mirrors... 4 mirrors found.
Fetching metadata signature for 8.2-RELEASE from update5.FreeBSD.org... done.
Fetching metadata index... done.
Inspecting system... done.
Preparing to download files... done.

No updates needed to update system to 8.2-RELEASE-p4.
=====

I'm new to FreeBSD and after looking through the FreeBSD website I
think I may have answered my question, but thought I would say that
the message "No updates needed to update system to 8.2-RELEASE-p4"
seems a little contradictory: if "8.2-RELEASE-p4" isn't relevant for
my FreeBSD installation why even mention it.

As far as answering my question, i.e. 'how does one install 8.2-RELEASE-p4 on a system running 8.2-RELEASE-p3', if I understand the relevant security advisory,

http://security.freebsd.org/advisories/FreeBSD-SA-11:05.unix.asc

it looks like "8.2-RELEASE-p4" is an update for source, consequently, I'm getting the output that I am from freebsd-update because I don't have any source installed on my system.

 When I run sysinstall and attempt to install packages by
 selecting "Configure | Packages | Main Site", I get the
 following output

            User Confirmation Requested
 
 Warning:  Can't find the `8.2-RELEASE-p3' distribution on this
 FTP server.  You may need to visit a different server for
 the release you are trying to fetch or go to the Options
 menu and to set the release name to explicitly match what's
 available on ftp.freebsd.org (or set to "any").
 
 Would you like to select another FTP server?

Hello, thank you for using FreeBSD! But this is not the place to ask 
these kind of questions. You are better of using the 
questions@FreeBSD.org mailing list. Since this is not a problem but an 
user question, I will be closing this PR.
