      Hi all,

      I have pfSense 2.6 installed and I'm trying to update to 2.7 but getting the message "Unable to check for updates" in the GUI. This happen in the Dashboard and Update Screen.

      I'm also getting the error below:

      [2.6.0-RELEASE][admin@pfSense.localdomain]/root: pkg info -x pfsense
      ld-elf.so.1: /lib/libc.so.7: version FBSD_1.7 required by /usr/local/sbin/pkg not found
      [2.6.0-RELEASE][admin@pfSense.localdomain]/root:
      

      Any ideas greatly appreciated.

      TIA

          I had that too. I just installed 2.7 and used the existing config. Backup the config and when you install, you can tell it to use the existing config.

          PfSense running on Qotom mini PC
          i5 CPU, 4 GB memory, 32 GB SSD & 4 Intel Gb Ethernet ports.
          UniFi AC-Lite access point

          I haven't lost my mind. It's around here...somewhere...

              This is an expected error after 2.7 was release. It should not cause any problem for normal operation in pfSense where all functions use pkg-static to allow for it.
