      I have had issues with all updated (OS and package) updates related to 23.05. I've been able to determine the issue is related to a cert issue, "Certificate verification failed for /C=US/ST=Texas/L=Austin/O=Rubicon Communications, LLC (Netgate)/OU=pfSense Plus/CN=pfsense-plus-pkg00.atx.netgate.com"

      I've read various threads that say to simple wait for the cert to be refreshed. I have waited, no changes. I have had to use console option 13 for all 23.05 RC updates and just had to force the patch_2.2.3 package update from the console.

      I'm up and running, but would like to resolve this for future updates. Any advice is appreciated. Hardware is a 6100 Max.

      Thank you!

      Here is the full error when running pkg-static -d update:

          I had exactly the same "Certificate verification failed" error when trying to update from 23.01 to 23.05

          The update did not proceed at all, but now the system tells me that "The system is on the latest version" even though it is listed as 23.01, and there is now no option to try to upgrade to 23.05.

            Ignore... I tried again after about 20 mins and this time it worked OK.

              Well, I contacted support referencing this and other posts I've made after playing with the 23.05 RC snapshots and having issues.

              Support said I didn't need a cert refresh as suggested by many in the forums. ;-( Instead, they suggested I rebuild the box vs. fix it. "Your cert doesn't need a refresh. However, if you are doing multiple upgrades and have accumulated some upgrade errors. I would recommend backing up the configuration and doing a clean install with the 23.05 image file."

              I've done support and understand the rebuild route...but how about the software doesn't accumulate upgrade errors in the first place. But, ok...such is the nature of testing RC builds.

                @bcdouglas - what did you mean by "cert refresh"? Is this equivalent of receiving a new activation token for pfSense Plus, or does it refer to something else? Thanks in advance.
