Struggling to update a 1541

siil-it

We have a pair of 1541's in carp mode running 22.05-Release. We are facing an intermittent issue with updating the software and packages.
When it's playing up, If you go through the web interface, it reports "unable to check for updates"
Going through the console we are seeing
connection reset by peer
repository has no meta file, using default settings
unable to update repository
Authentication error

If you try update or install a package, it's reporting the authentication error most of the time.

I've scoured the logs on this but am struggling to find any useful clues as to what's causing the issue. Can anyone give me an idea of where to search so I can diagnose the issue properly?

@siil-it Have you looked through https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/troubleshooting/index.html#installation-upgrades ?

unable to check for updates

When that happens try running:

pkg-static -d update

Note the errors it shows and what it actually trying to connect to.

Thanks for the comments guys, it turns out we had a bad image and some carp issues.
After a rebuild with a fresh image, things are working ok now
