        Attempts to install a package result in the following /var/log/system.log entries

        Note that the UI returns the "Another instance ..." error shortly after the "Syncing firewall" message.

            Do you see that same error if you run directly:

            pfSense-repoc-static -n

                Hmm, yet it still throws that error trying to install a package via a package manager?

                  @stephenw10 After installing udpbroadcastrelay-0.3.b the webConfiguration package manager continued to fail. After installing pfSense-pkg-udpbroadcastrelay-1.0 I didn't attempt to install a package via the webConfiguration package manager until now.

                  Therefore either after the installation of pfSense-pkg-udpbroadcastrelay-1.0 or the execution of "pfSense-repoc-static -n" the webConfiguration package manager was able to successfully install pfSense-pkg-arping-1.2.2_4.

                    Hmm, interesting. I would have expected running pfSense-repoc to have pulled in any required new repo data but the package manager should have done that anyway. 🤔

                              Hi @stephenw10,

                              It's been a few days. I'm still seeing the "another instance is running" errors when trying to upgrade from 23.01 to the 23.05 RC. Today, I am offered 23.05.r.20230515.2213. Error remains. Is this fix in this build?

                              In this thread, you asked another user about 'pfSense-repoc-static -n'

                              Shell Output - pfSense-repoc-static -n

                                @bcdouglas I would expect that you will have to install the update to get the fix. Can you perform an update from the console? Menu item 13

                                  Worked! cColsole menu option 13 from the console allowed the 23.05 RC update to complete.

                                  Thanks! I'm up and running! Appreciated.

                                      After installing 23.05RC I decided to try installing udpbroadcastrelay but the installation failed with the following error

                                      Please got to system > update > update settings
                                      As shown in the image below
                                      packet update.jpg

                                      • Make sure you were choosing the tight branch, matching to your installed pfSense version (23.05)
                                      • Make sure the "automatic create boot environment is selected" (First red arrow)
                                      • Then hit once the save button without any other action
                                      • Then go to the system > packet section and try out to
                                        install your packet again.

                                      Another instance of pfSense-upgrade is running. Try again later

                                      My answer to that behaviour from @stephenw10 was the following: (So you could wait one day also)

                                      If you just reinstalled you might just be hitting the time limit on cert updates.

                                          I get this error too, when I try to uninstall a package. It is a low RAM VPS on VMWare.
