        @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!

                      Not committed yet. I guess there was more involved to do it right. Let me see what I can dig up...

                                I have tried to install 23.01 devel on my home SG3100 Web upgrade did not work at all just long wait and then return to main upgrade page. Tried CLI install it did go through however during booting process I noticed a couple of PHP 8.1 .so libraries did not load ( thrown error message, Posibly wrong binaries for SG3100 CPU?) after booting main admin page just blank page. I have reverted back to 22.05 from recovery image.

                                  A more complete fix was created and committed to resolve these issues. It took a while longer than expected but should be in a snapshot shortly.

                                        And I can't update from 23.01.b.20230102.0600 to 23.01.b.20230104.0600. Before that it was updated every day.

                                            That isn't necessarily a show-stopping error. Try running pfSense-upgrade -d at the command line.
