      If after all that your still unable to upgrade, after 'many' years (22.05 == old) you might want to take the short cut.
      And if you haven't the ZFS file system, and you want it / can use it, you have to re install anyway.
      Contact Netgate support, they send you very quickly the actual version (23.09.1), burn in to a key, and install.
      When done, you can import the backup of the config that you've kept in a secure place, and 10, maybe 15 you'll be up to date and online.

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

        ZFS is already being used.
        Bit of a shame that one cannot just update and have to go through all this procedure....

          I'm not saying it isn't possible to make the upgrade work.
          An solution for you is probably avaible here : Home >

          The thing is, knowledge that you might need for upgrading from 22.05 to a newer version is more then a year old.
          Maybe @stephenw10 has the magic command for you ...

            Try running certctl rehash and retesting.

            That said it's a bit odd that it's trying to pull pkgs from a beta branch for 23.01. So nother thing you could try is setting the branch back to 22.05 then running:
            pkg-static clean -ay; pkg-static install -fy pkg pfSense-repo pfSense-upgrade

            Then trying to upgrade to 23.01 again.

            However you will have at least two further upgrade steps after that. Installing 23.09.1 clean and restoring the config will probably be quicker.

                  Can you show what happens when you execute the command proposed ?

                  First this one (success):
                  certctl rehash

                  This One (resulted in the logging):
                  pkg-static clean -ay; pkg-static install -fy pkg pfSense-repo pfSense-upgrade

                  Edit:

                          That's with the branch set to 22.05?

                          It looks like it's trying to use the wrong cert.

                              Probably the fastest way forward at this point.
