      Hello guys, I have the problem that I can't update my firewall.

      I get the following from the FreeBSD shell:

      pfSense-repoc-static: invalid signature
      failed to read the repo data.
      failed to update the respository settings!!!
      

      I've already tried to fix it with it:
      https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/troubleshooting/upgrades.html

      pkg-static clean -ay; pkg-static install -fy pkg pfSense-repo pfSense-upgrade (unsuccessful)
      

      It doesn't work from the WebUI either

      Please can someone help me with this?

          Noticed later that version 2.7.0 was released.
          Then I did a completely new installation with version 2.6.0 and was able to upgrade to 2.7.0 without any problems.
          Unfortunately, I couldn't find out why it wasn't possible to upgrade from 2.5.2. 🤔

            I just think that the source entry from the update in pfSense 2.5.2 is no longer correct?
            Presumably something changed with the 2.7.0 release?
            In any case, I had tried many things and could not solve my problem.
