      Huh, weird.

      The pkg update command only updates the local cached list against the repo. pkg upgrade is required to actually upgrade anything. pkg update gets run every time it checks so everytime you visit the dashboard for example. It is generally safe to run.

      Anyway glad you're back up and running.

          You have to use pkg-static if you are already using a newer version of pkg. But in 2.7 you should be running 1.19.1_2 unless you had the dev branch set at some point.

              If you have a newer version of pkg installed than the base you have to use pkg-static instead of pkg.

              So for example:

              [2.7.0-RELEASE][admin@pfsense.fire.box]/root: pkg-static info -x pkg
              pfSense-pkg-Shellcmd-1.0.5_3
              pfSense-pkg-Status_Traffic_Totals-2.3.2_3
              pfSense-pkg-System_Patches-2.2.4
              pfSense-pkg-iperf-3.0.3
              pfSense-pkg-nmap-1.4.4_7
              pfSense-pkg-openvpn-client-export-1.9
              pkg-1.19.1_2
              

              But as you can see there you should have pkg version 1.19.1_2 in 2.7. Why are you trying to install 1.20.6? What version do you have now?

                  Where are you installing that from? That's not the CE pkg repo so it;s pulling in some unknown version of pkg.

                        Where are you installing that from?

                        What version of pkg do you have now?

                        If you have installed a new version of pkg that the running base/kernel you must use pkg-static instead of pkg. So:

                        pkg-static update
                        

                        However if you have changed the update repo to point at something else then it could have pulled in other packages. pfSense has a number of custom pkgs that are required for correct running.

                              @walidbz said in Unable to check for updates from dashboard:

                              That isn't where you're installing from. Neither wazuh-agent nor pkg-1.20.6 are in that repo.

                              Also if you have pkg-1.19.1_2 installed you would not need to run pkg-static:

                              [2.7.0-RELEASE][admin@pfsense.fire.box]/root: pkg search wazuh-agent
                              [2.7.0-RELEASE][admin@pfsense.fire.box]/root:
                              

                              What repo do you see in?: pkg-static -d update
                              What version do you in? :pkg-static info pkg
