      What do you see at the command line if you run: pkg -d update ?

          Ok, that looks like it needs to pull an updated cert. That should happen whenever the update checks runs but you can also run pfSense-upgrade -c at the CLI.
          Do you see available branches in System > Update? Or an error there?

            @stephenw10 "Do you see available branches in System > Update? Or an error there?"

            I am presented with "Latest Stable Version (23.01)" as the only item and no error messages.

            I am about to try pfSense-upgrade -c and I'll let you know the result shortly.

                                I had the same issue and this corrected it for me.

                                Deleted as it did not apply to others.

                                  @g-hammer That did not resolve the issue for me and instead caused an update to system_patches to present in installed packages. I have reverted your suggested change to /usr/local/etc/pkg.conf.

                                      If you saw the 'fix' before I deleted it, the stanza deleted is restored at any change to anything in the GUI and/or at reboot.

                                          Yes, It looks like there is a problem here. We have replicated it locally and should have a solution shortly.

                                            Ok: https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/14137

                                            The issue is that the custom repo data used to upgrade to Plus is not being removed as expected after upgrading.

                                            Simply resaving the update branch to Latest Stable (23.01) in System > Update > Update Settings will allow packages to be seen correctly.

                                            Removing the custom repo data manually will remove the Plus Upgrade message there.

                                            Steve
