Attempting to update to 23.01 DEVEL corrupts my pfSense installation

Most likely your NDI changed from that originally registered. Did you change the hardware?

Nope same exact hardware no changes. Was setup about a week and a half ago updated to plus and was waiting for the RC so I did the update this morning with no changes to hardware.

I can provide my ID if needed.

[stephenw10]

Yes, PM me your NDI so I can check it.

On Netgate 1100 upgrade from 22.05 to 23.01 didn't go well. After changing the update branch to Latest Development Snapshots, 23.01.b.20230106.0600 was offered and accepted. Gui showed the following errors early on, but other than that, upgrade seemed to go through:

Updating pfSense repository catalogue...

When 1100 restarted, Crash report greeted me:

Checking update version failed, so before recovering back to 22.05 there was no harm in trying these commands mentioned earlier in this thread:

[22.05-RELEASE][root@plusdev-3.stevew.lan]/usr/local/libexec: rm /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/pfSense.conf 
[22.05-RELEASE][root@plusdev-3.stevew.lan]/usr/local/libexec: ln /usr/local/share/pfSense/pkg/repos/pfSense-repo-devel.conf /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/pfSense.conf

After that update indicated that 23.01.r.20230108.1514 was available and that went through to 23.01-RC without errors.

[stephenw10]

Hmm, yeah those errors you see are the result of an incomplete upgrade for some reason.

I would guess it was because pfBlocker failed to complete it's uninstall script.

The initial error is expected the pfSense-upgrade script allows it to continue past the ABI mismatch.

[pfsjap]

Upgraded from 22.05 to 23.01-BETA last month without any trouble pfBlogger being the same version as today (3.1.0_9).

[stephenw10]

Hmm, could be a new bug caused by some other changes then. The errors you see before that though show a PHP version mismatch.

Just updated to 23.01-BETA. Was expecting to see 23.01-RC. Even after a few reboots, update checks, and brach changes the option does not exist. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

[stephenw10]

There is some work happening the backend repos right now, that's expected.

[pistolpeet]

@stephenw10 Thank you!

[michaellacroix]

@stephenw10
Do we know if the rc is now available for install? I plan to test tonight.
Thanks

[stephenw10]

It isn't. The Jan 6th beta snap is the current 23.01 image.

[mtarbox]

As you can see from the attached photo, I've updated to the RC. Has there been any further development? If there has been, how do I obtain it? I check daily through the cli, with no changes noted.

[stephenw10]

Not yet, we are testing internally. There will be some announcement when we have an RC snap ready for testing.
