      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.

      [23.05.1-RELEASE][admin@gw01.x.local]/root: pkg-static update -f
      Updating pfSense-core repository catalogue...
      pkg-static: https://pfsense-plus-pkg01.atx.netgate.com/pfSense_plus-v23_05_1_amd64-core/meta.txz: Bad Request

        '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.
