    The fourth beta build of the 15.0-RELEASE release cycle is now available.

    Upgrading a poudriere 15.0-BETA3 to BETA4 fails:

    poudriere jail -j 150 -u -t 15.0-BETA4
    [...]
    No updates needed to update system to 15.0-BETA4-p0.

    To install the downloaded upgrades, run 'freebsd-update.PClWovdz [options] install'.
    No updates are available to install.
    Run 'freebsd-update.PClWovdz [options] fetch' first.
    [00:02:31] Error: Fail to upgrade system

    It worked from BETA2 to BETA3.
    You indicated the version (15.0-BETA4-p0 , I've got 15.0-STABLE) but
    not the METHOD or the ARCH. In my context the recent upgrade to the
    below worked fine. But I am mostly just illustrating example
    METHOD's and ARCH's that I happen to have around. There are other possibilities.
    # poudriere jail -l
