@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.

If you send me your NDI in chat I can check it.

I'm having the same issue. Started this morning.

@danejones Same issue here. Started about a week ago. Running 23.01 release. Used to work just fine.

pfSense-upgrade -c

although it starts with an error

Mine similar, but more errors:

G.Hammer

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

Deleted as it did not apply to others.

tedquade

@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.

Ted Quade

G.Hammer

@tedquade I shall remove the suggested fix then.

G.Hammer

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.

tedquade

@g-hammer I saw that in other posts on the matter. Thanks for the heads-up though.

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.

@stephenw10 Thanks for the fix, done.

Where would I do this?
