Package Update Empty/Ver says I'm up to date but newer version is avail

mrchip

My Available Package Manger is not showing any packages. On a secondary note I did install pfsense on another box to test this issue and its on ver 2.5.2 and I cant seem to update that fresh install either to Branch 2.6.0 or 2.7.0

I think it might be something to do with System/Update.
System/update/System update = "Latest Stable Release (2.7.1); Current Base & Latest Base = 2.7.0; Status: Up to Date.
Also under the Dashboard/System Information/Version it says 2.7.0-Release, "The System is on the latest version" even after a refresh.

As per: https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/troubleshooting/pkg-broken-database.html
I also tried Diagnostics/Command Prompt/
/bin/mkdir -p /var/db/pkg/ /root/var/db/pkg/
Result: Shell Output - /bin/mkdir -p /var/db/pkg/ /root/var/db/pkg/

/usr/local/sbin/pkg-static update -f

@mrchip see if it’s https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/releases/2-7-1.html#troubleshooting

Yup check that.

Run pkg-static -d update to see exactly what error is shown when it tries to update.

That worked! For any others with this issue the 1st command in the above link under troubleshooting had me go Diagnostics/Command Prompt and I typed "certctl rehash" in the "Execute Shell Command"...waited a bit so be patient and then it rebooted.

Thank you! @stephenw10 & @SteveITS
