      Version 23.05-RELEASE was working well except something broke. This morning I got a notifiction that a new version of a package was available:

      pfSense-repoc: 20230512_1 -> 20230523 [pfSense]

      I ran pkg upgrade without issues.

      This evening I tried running the package manager which seemed to work but the log contains:

      /pkg_mgr_installed.php: The command '/usr/local/sbin/pfSense-repo-setup' returned exit code '1', the output was 'pfSense-repoc-static: invalid signature failed to read the repo data. failed to update the repository settings!!!'

      I then ran pkg upgrade again and now I receive the following output:

      Any ideas what is going on, and how to fix it?

          @matsan Yours is a slightly difference scenario, relating to the upgrade. Mine is after the successful upgrade, with a warning triggered by running the "package manager GUI" and CLI command "pkg upgrade" (not pfsense-upgrade)

            webgui dashboard
            system > update > update settings
            Check "create boot environment.... and click save*
            wait a while, a moment like 5 minutes
            Connect via console and try out option (13)
            have a look now if this be running fine again.

              Check "create boot environment"

              There is no such option on the setting page. Only selection of branch, and "Disable the Dashboard auto-update check"

                  @Dobby_ As I said, I have no such option, and I can't see how it would have any bearing on my problem anyway...

                  and you don't seem to run pfSense Plus based on that screenshots?

                    If you click the "save" button the cert will be new
                    saved also to your installation, you go then to the
                    console and type in "13" for using option (13)
                    after some time let us say 5 minutes and then
                    it should all fine for you again and you will be
                    able to update/upgrade again.

                      @Dobby_ I followed your suggestion but it made no difference. If you check my initial post you will see that there were no issues with certificates, it looks more like a server misconfiguration. Don't confuse my issue with what @matsan reported.

                      Your screenshot states "Choose pfSence Plus Upgrade to upgrade to pfSense Plus", which naturally lead me to the conclusion that the screenshot was not from a pfSense Plus software release.

                          today "pkg upgrade" worked but the package manager still generates an error:

                            @pst The Boot Environments menu is only available if running Plus and the file system is ZFS. If upgraded from UFS then a reinstall is necessary to get ZFS.

                            I know this is the upgrade page but you could try
                            https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/troubleshooting/upgrades.html#upgrade-not-offered-library-errors

                            “If the upgrade is still not offered, refresh the repository configuration and upgrade script by running the following commands from the console or shell:

                            pkg-static clean -ay; pkg-static install -fy pkg pfSense-repo pfSense-upgrade

                            ”
                            (My emphasis)

                            I had a similar error when upgrading (maybe their servers are busy?). I resolved mine by going to System/Update/Settings and saving the page without making changes. Others have changed to Previous branch and back to Current again. Others used the above command.

                            Pre-2.7.2/23.09: Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.
                            When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to restart, or more depending on packages and device speed.

                              @SteveITS I didn't have any problems upgrading, I am on 23.05-RELEASE and the only remaining problem is when I go to the Package Manager (in the GUI) it triggers an error in the log (see image in my previous post).

                              I ran your commands but the issue still remains.

                                After running around in circles for almost a week, trying all suggestions on the forum I finally got it working. The solution? Using the console and

                                13) Update from console
