    Yup try the instructions on that bug report first, resave the update repo path. If you just upgraded that's probably the cause.

        Hey everyone, this was fixed for me by going to System / Update / Update Settings and clicking the Save button without making any changes. Once I did that, the package list came up (I may have forced a refresh too).

                Hello guys,

                Nothing helped. But in the end, I went to Diagnostics-Backup & Restore and at the bottom is Reinstall all packages. Suddenly everything started to work properly.

                  @jasongreb Same over here in 4 different installs on different customers plus my homelab, went from pfsense CE to pfsense Plus a few days ago, empty "Avaliable packages" list, tried other options (at least the ones that didn't seem too drastic) but this one is the one that worked. Thanks!

                      Thanks it worked running pfsense 23.05. I think this should be fixed?

                        It should be fixed in 23.05. If you were running a 23.05 dev/beta/rc snapshot it's possible you got stuck on an older version on pfSense-upgrade that still had this bug.

                            @yaw sounds like a bug to me. I'm seeing the same thing on CE 2.7.0

                              @sometechguy check out the solution posted by @jasongreb on 6th of April 2023. It worked for me.

                                Yup try that. If you're on 2.7.0 also try running: certctl rehash
