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

      Deleted as it did not work after any change or reboot.

        @g-hammer Interesting, thanks. didn't seem to have any effect on my system though. I still don't see any packages
        I did give it a reboot after modifying the file in case that was needed

          In fact I'm finding that these lines:
          PKG_ENV {
          SSL_CA_CERT_FILE=/etc/ssl/netgate-ca.pem
          SSL_CLIENT_CERT_FILE=/etc/ssl/pfSense-repo-custom.cert
          SSL_CLIENT_KEY_FILE=/etc/ssl/pfSense-repo-custom.key
          }

          are being repopulated after I remove them and save the file

            @paulp44 I'm seeing the same now. It did populate the package list. Once. Now back to the original error.

                I've provisioned a new instance and also upgraded that from CE to + and at the moment that new instance does not have any problems with packages

                  I just installed pfsense for the first time. CE packages worked fine. When I upgraded to plus (32.01) there are now no packages listed.

                    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.

                        Outstanding. That fixed the issue. Packages are now listed.
                        Thank you very much! Excellent support...
