      Firmware/Software: FreeBSD 14.0-CURRENT aarch64 1400094 #1 plus-RELENG_23_09_1-n256200-3de1e293f3a: Wed Dec 6 20:59:18 UTC 2023

      I have found that my SG-1100 is unable to check for software updates (reports 'unable to check for updates') and whilst it lists currently installed packages, it cannot retrieve a list of available packages - the list remains blank.

      I have tried the command line:
      pkg upgrade

      But get the following errors reported:

      pkg: Warning: Major OS version upgrade detected. Running "pkg bootstrap -f" recommended
      Updating pfSense-core repository catalogue...
      pkg: No SRV record found for the repo 'pfSense-core'
      pkg: An error occured while fetching package
      pkg: packagesite URL error for pkg+https://pfsense-plus-pkg-devel.netgate.com/pfSense_plus-master_aarch64-core/meta.txz -- pkg+:// implies SRV mirror type

      Unable to update repository pfSense
      Error updating repositories!

      Is anyone able to assist, please?

        @GeekyTim Try this page: https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/troubleshooting/upgrades.html#upgrade-not-offered-library-errors

        Pre-2.7.2/23.09: Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.
        When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to restart, or more depending on packages and device speed.

            This could be simply a DNS issue. Try running: pkg-static -d update
            That will show more error info.
