Another "No Available Packages" issue

Hi,

I'm trying to browse the list of packages available on pfSense+ 23.04.1-RELEASE (amd64), but the list is empty. This system was first initialized on 6/30/2023 and has worked fine until I tried to uninstall the WireGuard package. I found some similar threads and have pasted the output of the commands which seem relevant.

What's the fix?

'Bad request' like that means it doesn't have a valid client cert.

It usually pulls a new cert when you open the gui. If you haven't done that for a while you can also run pfSense-repoc at the CLI to do so.

@stephenw10 So here's the thing, I get the message while in the UI. So I assume that logging into the UI to install packages counts as opening UI, right?

It does and in fact actually I see the error from repoc in your initial output.

Send me your NDI in chat and I'll check it.
