          @barnops Did you try my tip with web configurator certificate renewing?

            @antibiotic This shouldn't have anything to do with this. The local GUI Cert is not related to repo access.

                But for the record, I did.
                It didn't solve anything.

                        Looks like whatever was going wrong was resolved this morning.
                        I am now able to pull the update version.

                        But wasn't it a requirement to swap to 22.01 first when upgrading from CE to Plus?
                        Now 23.01 is listed when going from 2.6.0.

                          Seems like it updated properly to 23.01 with no ill effects:

                          So what ended up being the issue?

                                Randomly deleting repository files isn't really a "solution". That seems more like a thing, that was working for you, but the repos are set from changing/setting the release path in the update screen.

                                  That is in our redmine, however, as a workaround.

                                        @picturetaker Customers haven't called me yet. I run it at home in lab form, if I get called and Im working for them I would open one. Can't do anything if I'm not representing them.

                                          I just went through a similar situation. I installed pfSense 2.6 on a new machine and everything looked fine. I then upgraded to pfSense+ v23.01. The upgrade looked fine and the machine was working. However, when I went to install other packages, I received the "no packages available" message. Going into a shell via SSH to update packages did not work and I also got the "bad request" error when trying that.

                                          The work-around solution that worked for me was to clean up the custom repo info in /usr/local/share/pfSense/pkg/. Apparently, the upgrade from 2.6 to 23.01 is leaving some 2.6 info in the folder which then causes authentication/access issues when trying to get to the 23.01 repos.

                                          There is a write-up of the issue (and the manual work-around) at https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/14137

                                            I just wanted to pop in and say that I was also running into a "Bad Request" issue just now on 23.01 when trying to run pkg update and I was able to resolve this by plopping in my Register key via the UI. I was going through some troubleshooting last week with pfSense support and during the re-issuing of Plus certs it must have wiped the Registration key somewhere along the way. I was upgrading from 2.7.x CE to 23.01 Plus.
