      I have a Netgate 1100 and now i upgraded from "23.05.1-RELEASE (arm64)" to version 23.09
      Upgrade went fine, what it looks like, but dashboard still says there is an update (23.09) and that the current version is 23.05.1-RELEASE (arm64).
      If i go to the update page, it says that current base version is 23.09 and that current stable is 23.09 and status is Up to date.

      This is of course a minor thing but a bit annoying since the light is flashing on the 1100 and this way i can not just look at it to see if a new version is available.

      Any way way of fixing this?
      Yes, i did a reboot, no change with that.

        Check what actually upgraded. Try running at the CLI: pkg-static info -x pfsense

        See what still shows as 23.05.1. At least the pfSense meta pkg will still show as that since that's what the dashboard is checking.

          @stephenw10 Now i also get 502 error when logging in, but i could reach a sub page at least.
          This is what the command shows:

          "pfSense-23.05.1
          pfSense-Status_Monitoring-php82-1.8_3
          pfSense-base-23.09
          pfSense-boot-23.09
          pfSense-default-config-serial-23.05.1
          pfSense-kernel-pfSense-23.09
          pfSense-pkg-aws-wizard-0.10
          pfSense-pkg-ipsec-profile-wizard-1.1_1
          pfSense-pkg-mtr-nox11-0.85.6_3
          pfSense-pkg-snort-4.1.6_8
          pfSense-repo-23.05.1
          pfSense-repoc-20230912
          pfSense-u-boot-1100-20220428
          pfSense-u-boot-2100-20210930_1
          pfSense-u-boot-env-20230123
          pfSense-upgrade-1.2.1
          php82-pfSense-module-0.95"

          How do i do now? Downgrade to 23.05.1 and then upgrade again?

            At the CLI try running pkg-static upgrade and see what, if any, upgrades it offers you.

            You can probably just accept those upgrades to reach 23.09 However make sure you have a config backup first in case you need to reinstall for any reason.

              @stephenw10 Can this be done from the gui in a reasonable safe way or do i have to connect console cable? (i did the check with both your commands in the GUI command interface).
              For instance, if i run "Reinstall packages" on diag_backup.php page, does it fetch the new one or just the same version?

                  Ok great so it sees the upgrades and can install them. I would expect to be able to install those and end up at a full 23.09 install.

                  I would want to do that from the actual CLI though not via the gui command prompt. So either using the console directly or via SSH.

                  I would also be ready to reinstall if required because this is outside the usual upgrade process.

                  However we have seen a number of systems complete the upgrade successfully exactly like this.

                    @stephenw10 Thank you.
                    What is the easiest way to acquire the version for reinstallation?

                        @stephenw10 Thank you again. I will report back when i have tried your solution.
                        I will first wait for the software from Netgate so i have it just in case.

                          Update:
                          Upgrade did not work. A lot of errors when i listed the packages.

                          Reinstalled worked. Recover config did not work what it looked like but i had config saved so restored config and it worked.

                          Thank you for the help.
