      try this command

      pkg-static upgrade -f pfSense-repoc
      

      Maybe your repo got mixed up with a new boot environment...

              👍

              You'll find the often overlooked

              a5497ffd-0917-418f-9b6a-5fb2e2bcc6a8-image.png

              which means : if you do not use the latest pfSense version, just don't visit the packages manager anymore - don't upgrade packages neither. Consider your system as 'frozen in time'.

              No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
              Edit : and where are the logs ??

                  @wija86 i did not find any soulsion on it so i did reinstall my PFsense and now its working.
                  I was stuck between 2.7.0 and 2.7.2 it did say i had the newest update but my GUI did say 2.7.0
                  now after the reinstall my Gui says 2.7.2 and my packages are working again.
