>Description:
	I run freebsd-update and get told its being upgraded from 10.0-release to -p2.
	After it runs, the machine fails to boot, stops single user, because almost all of /etc/rc.d has got set_rcvar lines in the files.
	However the set_rcvar function has been removed.

	Worryingly, when I diff -r on a -p2 system, I find that for many of these files the ONLY CHANGE is the textual replacement of
	the "`set_rcvar`" call by the "foo_enable" string: not the version/date/RCS stamp, just an in-place replacement.

	Somebody hasn't actually checked in tha change properly at some stage and instead has updated the FreeBSD-update information in a way
	which doesn't correctly replace the files.

	
>How-To-Repeat:
	You'd need to do a replace/install/upgrade on a 9.x series to 10.0 release and then run freebsd-update

	
>Fix:

	I have NFI because FreeBSD-update doesn't seem to want to 'replace' these files. I am copying rc.d and other stuff on from other hosts
	I have.
