Command output: pkg-static -d update

Should I run the pfSense-upgrade command now?

[stephenw10]

Yes try: pfSense-upgrade -d

When executing the above command the problem returned:

Ok try: ls /var/cache/pkg/pkg*

If it shows you have a cached version of pkg-1.17.5_4.pkg then try:
pkg-static install -Uf /var/cache/pkg/pkg-1.17.5_4.pkg

Then try upgrading again.

The versions shown are as follows:

Should I use some of these versions, instead of the pkg-1.17.5_4.pkg version?

[stephenw10]

Yes try: pkg-static install -Uf /var/cache/pkg/pkg-1.17.5_3.pkg

Should I really remove the "pkg.conf" file before running the pfSense-upgrade -d command?

[stephenw10]

Nope just try upgrading from there.

Though it's interesting that now it was able to see the updated 1.19.1_2 version of package anyway. It will probably just upgrade to that again first, which is correct.

I tried updating using version "pkg-1.17.5_3.pkg" but it didn't work:

Later I checked the downloaded packages, installed the 1.19.1_2 package and tried to update, but it didn't work either:

[stephenw10]

Hmm. pkg -d update still succeeds?

And pfSense-repoc fails?

Still using version 1.19.1_2 of the package I have the following outputs:

I will restore the PfSense snapshot. It is a VM. Can we do another test?

Even changing to the snapshot does not update to version 2.7. However, we can start a new attempt without any previous tests.

[stephenw10]

Ah sorry try: pkg-static -d update and pfSense-repoc-static

@stephenw10

I reinstalled the pkg- 1.19.1_2.pkg package.

I executed the following commands, but one of them failed.

[stephenw10]

Hmm, I assume pfSense-upgrade still fails the same way?

At this point I think I would just reinstall 2.7 clean to be sure.

Is it possible to backup all of pfSense (firewall rules, OpenVPN settings, etc?) and then restore to a clean install of pfSense 2.7?

[stephenw10]

Yes, just download the config from Diag > Backup/Restore then restore it into 2.7.
