Update 2.7.0 to 2.7.1 or 2 fails

oever

Good evening (well, here it is evening anyway)

Scenario: update 2.7.0
first backup config
then delete all packages
reboot
to my surprise: version 2.7.0 is reported current version, no update possible

then trying to reinstall packages
fails because package manager requires new php version which is part of new pfsense version (which one I now ask myself)

Before completely getting lost: what can I do now to either revert to my formerly functioning 2.7.0 with the packages I had installed
OR
update to 2.7.1 or 2.7.2 plus said packages

Thanks in advance for any suggestions

Never upgrade packages for a version you're not on. And yes I realize it's confusing if "current" doesn't list the current number. They added the PHP check to help prevent people from breaking their install.

Thanks, the first was spot-on. Unfortunately, updating now fails with the EFI-space-problem - on a 500G SSD, yeah sure. However, I reinstalled all my 2.7.0 packages an the FW works again (at 2.7.0). The EFI-problem will have to wait for another day. Thanks for a non-sleepless night :).
