Attempting to update to 23.01 DEVEL corrupts my pfSense installation

@stephenw10
FWIW: Tried an upgrade from 22.05-stable that I have as a BE-backup. To 23.01.a.20221209.1528But still received
Another instance of pfSense-upgrade is running. Try again later -
That's more likely another instance really is running but an upgrade issue still exists. It has proven more complex to fix correctly than originally though but should be done shortly.

@stephenw10 According to the Redmine task, the issue has been fixed by Luiz Sousa. I'm testing to provide feedback. Now when I try to update, my pfsense box at least doesn't break. However, when I try to update via console after setting the 23.01 repo, I get a "failed to upgrade the repository settings!!!" message. When I try via the GUI, it spins for an eternity and then I just get a white screen. I have no idea what went broke on the backend but man, this is a fun one.

@gabacho4 Me too, same message and same GUI outcome.

Yes, as I said above there is still an outstanding issue we are working on there.
I will update here when that has been cleared.

@stephenw10 it says resolved there, but still seems to be an issue here.

Same. Borked it so bad I needed to submit a ticket and reinstall.
4100 base. -
What errors were you seeing?
What version were you upgrading from?
If you are coming from a 23.01 snapshot from Dec 6th or earlier you may need to manually upgrade the pfSense-upgrade and pfSense-base pkgs before upgrading.

I was coming from 22.05 on a brand new 4100.
"Another instance of pfSense-upgrade is running. Try again later" in the GUI.
When I switch to cli, I get "unable to update repositories".
So then I go through the troubleshooting from here:[https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/troubleshooting/upgrades.html](link url)
And from there, I borked the install and had to submit a ticket for the image. -
@mtarbox I am also having the exact same errors on my install. Installed pfSense a month ago from the community edition, and upgraded to plus 22.05. A few days ago I switched up to try the Beta, can't get the update to go (same errors). I am also having issues where no packages will install or update either when switched back to 22.05 production listings.

The
Another instance of pfSense-upgrade is running.error? -
FYI - I tried all the recommendations in this doc.

And you are also seeing the same error:
Another instance of pfSense-upgrade is running.When trying to upgrade from 22.05 to 23.01 in the gui?
-
@stephenw10 for me yes. Same thing.
However when I grep it, it doesn't show that it is running. -
If you run at the command line:
ps -auxwwd | grep upgradeDoes it show another instance is actually running?
If so try just running
ps -auxwwdand see if there are any sub processes it's waiting on.Trying to replicate it here....

I documented this in another post:https://forum.netgate.com/topic/176692/unable-to-upgrade-22-05-to-23-01-dev20221223/5

OK, replicated that. Digging....
