      @stephenw10 coming from 22.05 and switched the upgrade path from stable to beta two days ago.

      already tried to run pkg-static clean -ay; pkg-static install -fy pkg pfSense-repo pfSense-upgrade twice. after the 1st run I tried to upgrade via GUI, 2nd time via console. same error messages reported in this thread (they diff whether it's GUI or console)

          I am getting the same error as well using virtualzied pfsense plus 22.05.

              FYI - I tried all the recommendations in this doc.

              https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/troubleshooting/upgrades.html

                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 upgrade

                    Does it show another instance is actually running?

                    If so try just running ps -auxwwd and see if there are any sub processes it's waiting on.

                    Trying to replicate it here....

                      I documented this in another post:

                            Will we be able to test tonight? If not, will there be an ETA? Thanks

                                @stephenw10 any ETA on fix or dirty workaround yet?

                                I have the same issues when trying to update from 22.05 to 23.01.

                                  Its worse than just being able to upgrade to the beta version. You also cant add or remove packages.

                                    If you switch the pkg repo branch back to 22.05 (stable) int he GUI then run at the command line:

                                    pkg-static install -f pfSense-upgrade
                                    

                                    You will have access to packages again via the GUI.

                                      Thank you, This allowed me to update/install packages again after switching back to 22.05.
                                      I am going to wait for the fix to become available before I attempt the upgrade to 23.01 again.

                                        Netgate, take your time. Find the issue(s).
                                        Granted this might set back the release of 23.01(as there are far fewer Beta testers), but better to have less issues in the final product.
                                        Thank you!

                                          Any need for reset the NDI on the server?
