      Check the installed pkg versions. One has probably been downgraded (or failed to upgrade).
      At the command line run:

      pkg-static info -x pfsense

          Ok, so you still have some 23.05 pkgs there including the main pfSense meta pkg.
          You can manually upgrade those pkgs. Make sure the update branch is set to 23.05.1 (latest stable), then run at the command line (not via the gui command prompt):

          pkg-static upgrade

          It should offer you the 23.05.1 upgrades for at least the pfSense and pfSense-repo pkgs.

          Once those are upgraded the system will show as up to date.

          Steve

              php82-pfSense-module-0.95

              All packages seem to be up-to-date but the dashboard still shows that updates are needed.

              Hope you can help.

                @joe_schmoe_54545 What's the output of the command that Steve posted for OP?

                pkg-static info -x pfsense

                  @rcoleman-netgate thanks I sorted it out; tried to post that but was told that it was SPAM lol.

                  Thanks for the help all. Was an update of package manager which is likely due to my having accidents switched to development branch then back to stable without actually updating the firewall.

                  Hope this helps someone else in the same boat.

                        @rcoleman-netgate I wasn’t adding an attachment at all. Simply the same text I just added above. Thanks :)

                          Try pkg clean
                          pkg update
                          pkg upgrade

                          Reboot and see if the issue resolved

                            Scrap this - the following command worked for me:

                            pkg-static upgrade -fy pkg
