Can't upgrade from 2.7.0 to 2.7.2.
-
I have the Branch set to
Current Stable Release (2.7.2)
But it shows the Current Base System and Latest Base System as
(2.7.0)
and Status shows
Up to date.Dropping to the Command Line gives me this:

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This was solved here.
Due to changes in pkg, the new version of pkg may not be able to properly locate and use the CA trust store when running on the previous version before upgrading. If the firewall is unable to load packages or check for updates after selecting the CE 2.7.1 upgrade branch, run certctl rehash from the console, a root shell prompt, or via Diagnostics > Command Prompt. This will allow pkg to utilize the system certificates until the next reboot.This is true in 2.7.0 as well. Running the certctl rehash brought it up to be able to upgrade.
