Issue with going from 2.7.0 to 2.7.2

Understudy

Hi All,

I am having no success with trying to do the update from 2.7.0-RELEASE to 2.7.2
With the GUI under System/ Update/ System Update it says 2.7.0 is up to date.
When I do it through the command line with command option 13 I get :

Enter an option: 13

If I do option 8 it is the same.

Part of the reason to do this upgrade is that I have packages that won't update until pfSense does it's update.

Thank you in advance.

@Understudy Same issue here with option 13 on the console updating from 2.7.0 to 2.7.2.

I have the rebooted the box but this issue stays.

stephenw10

Run at the command line: pkg-static -d update

What errors are shown?

ntgt6372

@stephenw10 using ssh I get:

DBG(1)[97011]> pkg initialized
pkg-static: Insufficient privileges to update the repository catalogue.

stephenw10

You have to be admin/root to run that.

More output now, there are multiple repeated notifications likes these in the output:

Run: certctl rehash and then try again.

Thank you so much for your help! That worked like a charm:

2.7.2-RELEASE (amd64)

@stephenw10 Came across precisely the same problem after initially seeing the option to upgrade. But, when creating a VM snapshot and returning to initiate the update from 2.7.0 to 2.7.2, the UI insisted 2.7.0 was the latest. Thanks for the steps to resolve this.

I don't quite follow why the certificates should get borked during this time?

stephenw10

It's the new version of pkg that get's pulled in from the new branch when it sees the update available. The certs are rehashed at that time but may require it again if the update is not run then.

trucmuche

Hello,
I have the same problem as OP. Running pkg-static -d update gave me the certificate error. I then ran certctl rehash which cleared the error, the previous command now ending with:

pfSense repository is up to date.
All repositories are up to date.

However, going to the System > Update page gives me an 504 Gateway Time-out error. Choosing option 13 in the command line gives:

pfSense-repoc-static: failed to fetch the repo data
failed to read the repo data.
failed to update the repository settings!!!
failed to update the repository settings!!!
PC Engines APU2 - Netgate Device ID: ***

It may be worth mentioning that the page System > Package manager shows "Unable to retrieve package information".

I am not sure what to check from there. Is there something I can do to troubleshoot?
Thanks

I believe you have already come across the answer in this thread. I am going to give answers just to help keep others informed. Thank you for the help.

Unable to update repository pfSense
Error updating repositories!

I said No so I could show this issue that showed up on the mismatch. This is a new result, so progress is being made.

Is there something I can do to troubleshoot?

First thing to try is make sure the firewall can connect out at all. So try to ping 8.8.8.8 and google.com from pfSense.

What version are you upgrading from?

If you run pfSense-upgrade it allows for an ABI mismatch like that. But CE has been built on 14 for sometime now.

Current Version is 2.7.0

I will run pfSense-upgrade and let you know.

Thank you

Yes, connectivity is fine. I looked for info everywhere and found some steps in this thread. I tried pkg-static upgrade pfSense-repoc and pkg-static upgrade and it messed up everything because I think I went too far.

I just did a fresh install and I am now running 2.7.2. The installer restored the config.xml but none of the packages are installed. The same issues are still here:

Available packages page shows "Unable to retrieve package information".
pkg-static -d update shows:

DBG(1)[3313]> pkg initialized
pkg-static: Unable to open '/usr/local/etc/pkg/repos//pfSense.conf':No such file or directory
No active remote repositories configured.

Internet connectivity is fine on pfSense and on the network behind it.

UPDATE:
Reading your latest message above for @Understudy, I tried pfSense-upgrade and it seems to have recreated the database. After another restore and reboot, everything seems to be back to normal. It was not easy, but thank you for all the information on this forum.

Just for reference if you see that error just resave the repo branch or select a different branch and then switch back (which also resaves it).

Tried it again. Different message.
