      @stephenw10 ok interesting.
      So here's what it shows when I have the update channel set to 23.05-RC

      pfSense-23.01
      pfSense-Status_Monitoring-1.8
      pfSense-base-23.01
      pfSense-boot-23.01
      pfSense-default-config-serial-23.01
      pfSense-kernel-pfSense-23.01
      pfSense-rc-23.01
      pfSense-repo-23.01
      pfSense-repoc-20230418_1
      pfSense-upgrade-1.0_66
      php81-pfSense-module-0.91
      

      And setting the channel back to 23.01 Stable and re-installing the upgrade package, it shows:

      pfSense-23.01
      pfSense-Status_Monitoring-1.8
      pfSense-base-23.01
      pfSense-boot-23.01
      pfSense-default-config-serial-23.01
      pfSense-kernel-pfSense-23.01
      pfSense-rc-23.01
      pfSense-repo-23.01
      pfSense-repoc-20230418_1
      pfSense-upgrade-1.0_61
      php81-pfSense-module-0.91

        Hmm, that looks correct. What happens if you try to upgrade from the CLI using: pfSense-upgrade -d ?
        It should at least show you the real error there.

          pkg-static: No package(s) matching pfSense-pkg-*
          pfSense-repoc-static: cannot get package information
          failed to collect the system information.
          failed to update the repository settings!!!
          failed to update the repository settings!!!
          

          Now I just noticed that if I run pkg-static bootstrap -f that it shows authentication errors.

          Bootstrapping pkg from pkg+https://pfsense-plus-pkg.netgate.com/pfSense_plus-v23_05_amd64-pfSense_plus_v23_05, please wait...

          ...
          

          I verified that date and time is correct. Oddly it was able to see that there was the new 23.05.r.20230509.2241 build today so it's able to connect to some degree.

          If nobody else is dealing with this issue upgrading to 23.05-RC then I'll just re-install this box and start over.

            Mmm, that particular issue has been fixed but you seem to be stuck in a dead-end somehow.

            Reinstalling is going to be quicker.

              @stephenw10 I seem to be stuck as well. "pkg-static clean -ay; pkg-static install -fy pkg pfSense-repo pfSense-upgrade" didn't do the trick for me.

              Shell Output - pkg-static info -x pfSense

              pfSense-23.01
              pfSense-Status_Monitoring-1.8

              pfSense-upgrade-1.0_66

              Shell Output pfSense-upgrade -d

              pfSense-repoc-static: invalid signature

              failed to update the repository settings!!!

              Still seeing "Another instance of pfSense-upgrade is running. Try again later" when trying a GUI update from 23.01 to today's RC (May 12)

                If you set it back to 23.01 does it still show an error?

                Does pkg-static -d update also error out?

                        Does anyone know the target date for this to move into production? It currently shows as a RC on my 2100 MAX my wife will lose it if I use development mode again. So, I am stuck using only stable versions per her request. However, I am still excited to test it out. Does Squid and Squidguard work with it?

                          When it is ready.

                          Right now we're testing RCs and hope to release soon -- but soon is just that ... soon.
                          The release will be completed when... it's completed.

                            @rcoleman-netgate aaaaaa, so you don't know. Thank you. I take it you have no access to something like a gant chart. Last hear say information I found on the forum said it was slotted for May 5th or 15th. But that was hear say form another post.

                              @jonathanlee Seriously - it will be ready when it is ready and not a moment sooner (or later).

                              We do not have specific ship dates -- which I think is good as it means you do not rush things to get the product done "on time".

                              We have a 5/9 date for the RC but not the final build. Any hearsay you read here is speculation and assumption. We do not set release dates.

                                @bcdouglas I was finally able to get beyond 23.01. I started from the 2.7 Dev current build. Made a backup of my config.xml. Reinstalled the Feb 15th build but did not install any packages.

                                Opened a ticket to get my certificate bumped so that I could get a new build. However, I was stuck in the same position as you. I could not update anything, nor could I install any packages from the GUI even though I wasn’t planning to anyway.

                                To get moving ahead, I was able to install the System_Patches package from the CLI. Then I was able to apply all recommended patches from the Systems_Patches GUI. I rebooted and then was able to see and update to 23.05. Once up on 23.05 I restored my original 2.7 config.xml, rebooted again. My old packages were all reinstalled without a hitch.

                                I have a Cyberpower UPS and I did need to replace the usbhid module with the one I was using for 2.7. (Search the NUT package discussion in the forum if you need this)
