      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.

            Where would I do this?

                You can run it at the command line via the console or ssh. Or you can run in Diag > Command Prompt in the GUI.

                  rm: /usr/local/share/pfSense/pkg/repos/pfSense-repo-custom.*: No such file or directory

                  Already gone.
                  I do have a package listing and have installed what I wanted.
                  Thanks for the rapid diagnosis and solution.

                      @tedquade Working for you, meaning you have a packages list and can install? Have you rebooted to make certain the fix survives?

                      No reason to think it doesn't, just checking.

                          Still no packages.

                          Did you also resave the update repo settings?

                          Are you also seeing the 'Bad Request' error from pkg -d update?
                          There are other reasons you might not see packages. Bug #14137 only applies to recent upgrades from CE.

                            Hi Stephen,

                            Yes, saved but I've no selections in update other than "Latest Stable Version (23.01)" . Saved and rebooted. Also tried "Disable the Dashboard auto-update check", saved and rebooted.
                            Yes, getting "bad request" from pkg -d update.
                            I did recently upgrade from latest version of CE.

                            Cheers!

                              From the Dashboard go to:
                              System > Update > Update Settings then "Save"

                              Then Diagnostics > Command Prompt > Execute Shell Command then in Command enter the following:
                              rm /usr/local/share/pfSense/pkg/repos/pfSense-repo-custom.*

                              Then select Execute.

                              That is the sequence I followed and it worked for me.

                                  Send me your NDI and the output pkg -d update in chat and I'll check it.

                                      Did you resave the stable repo settings?

                                          That error means it's trying to authenticate the repo using the wrong cert. Resaving the repo should set the correct line in the config file so it then uses the correct cert.

                                            @p1erre You need to do the following in order to save as instructed by Steve:

                                            System > Update > Update Settings > Save

                                            This is what worked for me when I had similar issues to yours.
