        Package update screens:

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

          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:

              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:

                tela22.png

                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.

                    I reinstalled the pkg- 1.19.1_2.pkg package.

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

                      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?

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