      It looked like a cert error. There were some changes to the back-end earlier. I was testing it at the time and didn't hit it but could just now. Anyway it looks OK to me now, can you retest?

          I am seeing this error too on my 2.6.0. Also package manager is kind of slow/empty. If I refresh the page sometimes I see my packages installed. Trying to update them gives me an empty page/hang.

          Doing a

          pkg-static clean -ay; pkg-static install -fy pkg pfSense-repo pfSense-upgrade
          

          it hangs on "Updating pfsense-core repository catalogue" or takes up to 5 minutes until it continues with "pfsense repository catalogue".

          The whole update via shell took me about 15 minutes!

              @decibel The issue was that IPv6 was used. Under System/Advanced/Networking make sure to check "Prefer IPv4". This fixed the issue for me.

                  Pre-2.7.2/23.09: Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.
                  When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to restart, or more depending on packages and device speed.

                    Ouch.. Very intuitive for debugging. Agree this is not the issue. Anyway at the moment i have again this update issues with two boxes from different AS. Both with good working and monitored IPv6. Obviously i am not alone with this issue, maybe worth debugging on Netgate side anyway...

                      @sigi Never had an issue before, but the suggestion to Prefer IPv4 under System->Advanced->Networking seems to have solved the problem for me.

                      Now, I don't know if the issue was at Netgate or with my ISP.

                        There is some on going work to our backend infrastructure and this appears to be related. It's a problem with IPv6 connectivity. I see it too on systems that have v6, we are working to resolve it.

                        It's not the same issue that caused the cert error originally seen in this thread.

                          That has been resolved. Please retest. Let us know if you see any issues fetching packages.

                            @stephenw10 Reverted the Prefer IPv4 setting to Unchecked.

                            Updates are still working.

                              @stephenw10 Removed IP4 preference and confirmed working. Also did a tracert pkg01-atx.netgate.com - 20 hops on IPv6 vs 13 for IPv4 - thought IPv6 routing was supposed be slicker!
