        At the command line first run pfSense-repoc to update the cert then run pkg upgrade pfSense-repoc to check for updates there.

            Hmm, this happened after you had upgraded to 23.05?

            What does pkg-static info pfSense-repoc show?

              I updated a while ago so I can't tell if it was right after 23.05 (but I don't think so).

                  Ok, yes that's the old pkg version.

                  Try running: pfSense-repoc-static.

                  If that runs try to update the pkg.

                      Ok, just to be clear you're running those at the CLI directly not via Diag > Command Prompt in the GUI?

                      Try running: pfSense-upgrade -dc

                          @manilx For what it's worth: Fixed by reflashing and restoring saved backup.

                          BTW: https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/solutions/netgate-8200/reinstall-pfsense.html states that

                          "If there is an existing installation on this device, the Recover config.xml option will attempt to mount the existing installation drive and copy the previous configuration, including SSH keys. Choose that option first, then proceed through the install as usual."

                          Did not happen, it just installed as factory default. Had to reassign interfaces/IP's to get access to the web console an then restore backup.

                          After that smooth sailing.

                          Took me 15min, a lot less time than fiddling around trying to fix/locate the issue.
