I get "pfSense-core has no meta file" and cannot update

It's possible that it's still cached. If you run a command such as host -t srv _https._tcp.packages-beta.netgate.com it should be returning files00.netgate.com and files01.netgate.com.

Give it a few more minutes and try it again.

Ah. now it works, a pkg-static -d update is now connecting to files00.netgate.com instead of pkg00.atx.netgate.com

Thanks!

Output of the above command is:

_https._tcp.packages-beta.netgate.com has SRV record 10 10 443 pk00.atx.netgate.com

I will try what @xplChris sugested

It works after I used:

pkg-static -d update

Thank you

@cool_corona
What is the output of this:

host -t srv _https._tcp.packages-beta.netgate.com

[Cool_Corona]

@nrgia

_https._tcp.packages-beta.netgate.com has SRV record 10 10 443 files00.netgate.com.
_https._tcp.packages-beta.netgate.com has SRV record 10 10 443 files01.netgate.com.

Then you have some other unrelated issue, start a new thread.

[Cool_Corona]

@jimp Sorry.

Maybe its related to this... the dropdown is empty

_https._tcp.packages-beta.netgate.com has SRV record 10 10 443 files00.netgate.com.
_https._tcp.packages-beta.netgate.com has SRV record 10 10 443 files01.netgate.com.

As per information provided by @jimp this looks good. Sorry, but I don't know what to suggest further.

[jimp]

That wouldn't be related to this. Start your own thread.

I'm running 2.7.0-DEVELOPMENT (amd64) built on Fri Mar 11 06:21:33 UTC 2022 and it will not update. I tried restarting unbound, but it made no difference.

Any suggestions?

UPDATE: I tried to update from the console and this time it worked.
