Unable to check for updates/ No packages available

[bitslammer]

I ran into the issue(s) seen recently where I wasn't able to check for updates and no packages where listed.

Tried running 'pkg-static -d update' and got this.

DBG(1)[33729]> pkg initialized
pkg: invalid url: /pfSense_plus-v22_05_armv7-core
pkg: Cannot parse configuration file!

Looked at some other posts and I was able to fix this easily by going to update settings and switching to the devel version, letting it check and then switching back. Mind you this was just changing the setting for firmware branch an not doing an actual update.

Looks like the config file somehow got corrupted and this cleared that up.

Hoping this will help others.

Yeah, that path doesn't look good : no host name what so ever, so very invalid.

Look here for a nice story and solution.
