      @yon-0 I recieved this same error.

      The fix for me was still turning off automatic update check for Dashboard page.
      System --> Update --> Update Settings
      then checking below
      Dashboard check [checked to disable] Disable the Dashboard auto-update check

          @yon-0 did you try

          pfSense-upgrade -c -d
          

          this can't fix it now.

          pfSense-upgrade -c -d

                You tried resaving the repo branch as shown here?:

                  This method does not solve the problem

                              It's in the system infomation widget on the dashboard or above the menu at the console. Or shown by running gnid at the CLI.
