Errors when checking for package updates.
-
The bad request error implies the client cert has expired. If you're only connecting from the command line try running
pfSense-upgrade -cfirst. That will pull a new cert.
Otherwise thge update check on the dashboard when you first connect will also update it. -

❯ pfSense-upgrade -c ERROR: It was not possible to determine pkg remote version >>> Updating repositories metadata... done. Your system is up to date ❯ pfSense-upgrade -c >>> Updating repositories metadata... done. Your system is up to date ❯I will let this be for another day or so and try the command line version for the update again. Maybe now, after trying your suggestion, the potential cert related issue is fixed in the background.

Ok, that output looks good, as expected.
You can also run
pfSense-upgrade -dcto get more diagnostic output there if it does start failing again.Steve

I am having a similar problem today, I upgraded from 2.6.0 to pfsense+, upgrade went well and today when I went to look at packages nothing there. shell shows the same as the OP, however running pfSense-upgrade -dc is not pulling any cert that I can tell.
If I use a browser to test, the certificate looks to be signed by you guys, however the browser also shows "
400 Bad Request
No required SSL certificate was sent"

@stephenw10 unfortunately, my problem is back. Ran the same old update command today and the errors are back.

That's expected if you have not visited the gui in some time. The access cert has expired and visiting the gui or running pfSense-upgrade will pull a new one restoring access.
In 23.05 that process is included in the pkg update so you shouldn't see an issue.Steve

@stephenw10 coming back to this one after upgrading to 23.05, the issue still persists. Using

Hmm, when you see it does running
pfSense-upgrade -cresolve it? -
I'm having also the same problem on PFsense+.

-
@GiaNN I solved it, idk why the repo was 23.05, while i had 23.01 telling me was up to date.
I went to updates -> previous branch 23.01 instead of current stable version 23.05 -
Hmm, odd. It should still have been able to pull a valid cert for 23.05, the cert is the same. Were you using 23.05-beta/RC at any time? That could have introduced an invalid signature file. Possibly.
-
@stephenw10 no, never used beta. I had some cert problems when i switched from CE to plus version and had to contact the support which in 1 min manually solved it, if it can help.
-
Hmm, weird. Well, reach out if you have any issues upgrading to 23.05.
-
@stephenw10 consider that i didn't know of the update... My dashboard always told me it's up to date.

It seems like there's a path there somehow where it's not succeeding the update check but not showing an error. I posted in another thread but the first time I tried updating from 23.01 to 23.05 on my 2100 at home it showed a cert error. I backed off because it was release day. The next night it showed 23.01 was current. I went to Update Settings which was still set to Current branch, saved it without changing anything, after which the update to 23.05 was then detected and installed fine. I believe I've seen a few similar posts.
-
@SteveITS i don't know, now i just updated, i had to change the repo from 23.01 to 23.05 and back a couple of times, then it said that there was an update available and i updated.
-
Yes, showing it's up to date when it should show 'Unable to check for updates' seems like a regression. It was solved previously: https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/8870
-
@GiaNN Yes that's the recommended solution for upgrade not offered. I am not sure why I just saved without changing it, but I did. :) That may be a clue though since it also worked.
-
Part of that is a known bug we're working on. The stored repo path in the config becomes invalid but it's not obvious because the gui only shows the current valid repos with the default selected when that happens. Switching repos or saving the current repo updates the config with a currently valid setting.
