Try running pkg -d update, see what errors it produces. What WAN type do you have? How is your DNS configured?

Hmm, it's a lagg with one member port? Cross chassis?

@Gertjan said in Error when xxtrat PFSENSE ISO file: The error "0x80070522 " implies a lot. I put all my bets on "Microsoft Windows" ^^ You are probably right, not seen any for a long time ... not using the big W.

@patient0 said in Not being able to install in Proxmox / OVH, WAN gateway out of scope.: @Salva_F use the search, Luke: OVH - cannot set wan interface default gateway. TL;DR: the online installer does not allow you to set a remote gateway (yet). Your best option is to install pfSense CE 2.7.2 (find the offline installer here: https://atxfiles.netgate.com/mirror/downloads/) and upgrade from there to 2.8.1. Thanks, that was one of my options .. but I wanted to be sure that I was not missing anything. BR.

One other thing I also did was cp libmd.so.6 to libmd.so.7 to see if I could get pkg to work, and it did work. I don’t think it made a difference in the end, but wanted to mention it. Also after the upgrade finished, it did overwrite that copy with the actual proper file.

@sandie Cleaning up boot environments also resolved this issue on a Netgate 4100. It would be great if they caught the issue and provided better error message, or remove old boot environments that are over a year old. Went from 1.9GB of free disk space to 4GB of usable space. for others seeing this issue. this output was during the clean up process, there were several more entries at the start, but weren't in my buffer anymore.

It looks like we are close to finding a solution to the HP DL issue (and likely other hardware).

fwiw, after checking a few other systems I am seeing this exact notice on several other 2.8.0 systems. Now I am geussing the above system had the notice before upgrading to 2.8.1.

Hmm, I agree. Let me see what we can do here.

Check for rogue repo files here: [2.8.1-RELEASE][admin@cedev-2.stevew.lan]/root: ls -ls /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/ total 1 1 -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 25 Aug 28 17:10 FreeBSD.conf 1 lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 55 Sep 5 12:02 pfSense.conf -> /usr/local/etc/pfSense/pkg/repos/pfSense-repo-0002.conf It's been a long while since I tried pf2ad but I'm pretty sure it has an install/uninstall script that should do it. Unless it's completely broken!

Everything should be back to normal now for IPv6 connectivity, there was an upstream issue that's been resolved.

You can always just reinstall 2.7.2 which will give you the new larger sized EFI partition and then upgrade again from there.

The driver firmware loading issue is not fixed in 2.8.1. It's still broken upstream AFAIK. You will still need to apply one of the workarounds.

@stephenw10 Yeah I am not sure what went wrong originally but glad it is working now!

Well that's not a bug if the gateways used were marked as down. That's the expected behaviour in 2.8.X. If the gateway being marked down is a change since 2.7.2 that could be a separate problem.

Now you can upgrade to 25.07.1.
