No updates for 23.01-RELEASE (amd64) and no packages available

@SteveITS said in No updates for 23.01-RELEASE (amd64) and no packages available:

https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/15097

I tried that, but that's only for cases where the symlink itself is missing. In my case it's still there, but file it's pointing to is missing.

[Zak McKracken]

Ok, I've cobbled together a pfSense-repo-stable.conf file:

[23.01-RELEASE][admin@pfSense.mydomain.local]/root: cat /usr/local/etc/pfSense/pkg/repos/pfSense-repo-stable.conf
FreeBSD: { enabled: no }

pfSense-core: {
  url: "pkg+https://firmware.netgate.com/pkg/pfSense_plus-v23_01_amd64-core",
  mirror_type: "srv",
  signature_type: "fingerprints",
  fingerprints: "/usr/local/share/pfSense/keys/pkg",
  enabled: yes
}

pfSense: {
  url: "pkg+https://firmware.netgate.com/pkg/pfSense_plus-v23_01_amd64-pfSense_plus_v23_01",
  mirror_type: "srv",
  signature_type: "fingerprints",
  fingerprints: "/usr/local/share/pfSense/keys/pkg",
  enabled: yes
}

With that in place, updating the packages does something:

You may need to manually remove /usr/local/etc/pkg.conf if it is no longer needed.

I don't understand the downgrading, but at least it seems to be download packages. Unfortunately, still there are no branches showing in System Update and Update Settings.

What's noticeable, and may or may not be important, is that System Update shows the follow Message:
Your device has not been registered for pfSense+. Please purchase a pfSense+ subscription to receive future updates. Netgate store
When re-entering the key, it seems to be accepted, but the message remains.

[stephenw10]

Try running:
pkg-static -d update
pfSense-repoc

If it was able to see the 23.05 dynamic repo tree at any time it will have pulled that in and it's currently pointing at the dynamic repo location.

If that fails you can try resetting that symlink to the old repo location
/usr/local/share/pfSense/pkg/repos/pfSense-repo.conf

That will then re-pull the files required to reach 23.05 and higher.

I threw away my cobbled together pfSense-repo-stable.conf, as it seemed to be not the only missing file. The whole /usr/local/etc/pfSense/pkg/repos directory was empty, except for my cobbled pfSense-repo-stable.conf file. Running pfSense-upgrade -c -d, hoping that would recreate and populate it, failed unfortunately:

[23.01-RELEASE][admin@pfSense.mydomain.local]/root: rm -rf /usr/local/etc/pfSense/pkg/repos
[23.01-RELEASE][admin@pfSense.mydomain.local]/root: pfSense-upgrade -c -d

@stephenw10 said in No updates for 23.01-RELEASE (amd64) and no packages available:

Try running:
pkg-static -d update
pfSense-repoc

pkg-static -d update failed in a similar fashion as above, but the second one is where it gets interesting:

[23.01-RELEASE][admin@pfSense.delien.local]/root: pfSense-repoc
ld-elf.so.1: /usr/local/sbin/pfSense-repoc: Undefined symbol "__libc_start1@FBSD_1.7"

I'm running a bog-standard pfsense(+), with only a NUT plugin. I used to have pfBlockerNG installed, but removed that because I thought it was dragging down performance. (It did not, but I didn't reinstall it because the Available Packages list was empty. It didn't think too much of it that time.)
Neither did I add any 3rd party repositories, or install any software I built myself.

If it was able to see the 23.05 dynamic repo tree at any time it will have pulled that in and it's currently pointing at the dynamic repo location.

If that fails you can try resetting that symlink to the old repo location
/usr/local/share/pfSense/pkg/repos/pfSense-repo.conf

That old file still exists, and I have symlinked it. Running pkg-static -d update does something:

Available Packages is no longer empty, a clear win. But no Branches appear, and no updates. I'm rebooting, just to be sure. Thank you for your help.

Ah try pfSense-repoc-static

Send your NDI in chat and I'll check it.

@Zak-McKracken said in No updates for 23.01-RELEASE (amd64) and no packages available:

Your device has not been registered for pfSense+.

That implies it's not recognised,

Steve

[Zak McKracken]

Thanks to the kind and competent help of @stephenw10 my box is working again: The packages available list is fully populated, branches are showing in the system update menu, and it is now fully up to date to 23.09.1.

For anybody appreciating closure: I think the root cause of my problem was an empty /usr/local/etc/pfSense/pkg/repos directory. I do not know how it became emptied out, but the cause of it not to be repopulated with all the commands mentioned above, was my Netgate Device ID (NID) no longer being registered. It also appeared to have changed.

I did add a network card to my box exactly a year ago, and took it out a week later, when it became unstable because it ran too hot. Two weeks ago I installed an alternative that does not run hot, and it is still in. I do know when my NID got invalidated, and if it reverts back to valid in between the to cards, but Stephen re-validated it again, and I will no longer change my box' configuration now. Ever.

[petrt3522]

@Zak-McKracken Did you get an answer to this? I just ran into the same after replacing my network card

[stephenw10]

Your NDI changed?

Send it to me in chat and I can check it.

Steve

[Zak McKracken]

@petrt3522 Yes; Thanks to @stephenw10 and Netgate's kind policy to allow for one reactivation of the Pfsense+ license, my box is up an running again. It turns out that swapping hardware, like your NIC, changes your box' hardware ID, no longer matching the one attached to your license.

Please respond to @stephenw10 with your NDI; He already chimed in.
