      Ok try running: ls -ls /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos

      That should show a symlink for pfSense.conf that points to the selected repo like:

      24.03-RELEASE][admin@plusdev-4.stevew.lan]/root: ls -ls /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos
      total 1
      1 -rw-r--r--  1 root wheel 25 Apr 19  2024 FreeBSD.conf
      1 lrwxr-xr-x  1 root wheel 55 Mar 18 12:49 pfSense.conf -> /usr/local/etc/pfSense/pkg/repos/pfSense-repo-0003.conf
      

      When you change the update branch in the webgui that symlink should be updated.

      Then if you check that repo it should be 24.11 like:

      [24.03-RELEASE][admin@plusdev-4.stevew.lan]/root: cat /usr/local/etc/pfSense/pkg/repos/pfSense-repo-0003.conf
      FreeBSD: { enabled: no }
      
      pfSense-core: {
          url: "pkg+https://pfsense-plus-pkg.netgate.com/pfSense_plus-v24_11_amd64-core",
          mirror_type: "srv",
          signature_type: "fingerprints",
          fingerprints: "/usr/local/share/pfSense/keys/pkg",
          enabled: yes
      }
      
      pfSense: {
          url: "pkg+https://pfsense-plus-pkg.netgate.com/pfSense_plus-v24_11_amd64-pfSense_plus_v24_11",
          mirror_type: "srv",
          signature_type: "fingerprints",
          fingerprints: "/usr/local/share/pfSense/keys/pkg",
          enabled: yes
      }
      

      I'm guessing your install is not showing that for some reason.

        Your guess is true, symlink did not change to the selected repo when the update branch changed in the GUI. It stays with 23.09.1.

        $ ls -ls /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos
        total 4
        4 -rw-r--r--  1 root wheel 26 Dec  6  2023 FreeBSD.conf
        0 lrwxr-xr-x  1 root wheel 62 Mar 18 16:45 pfSense.conf -> /usr/local/etc/pfSense/pkg/repos/pfSense-repo-23_09_1_rel.conf
        

        pfSense-repo-23_09_1_rel.conf has urls for 23.09.1 in pfsense-core and pfsense section.

        "pkg+https://pfsense-plus-pkg.netgate.com/pfSense_plus-v23_09_1_amd64-core"
        "pkg+https://pfsense-plus-pkg.netgate.com/pfSense_plus-v23_09_1_amd64-pfSense_plus_v23_09_1"
        

        Is there any command that can be executed via the terminal to change the repo?

          Yes you can try manually creating the symlink. What conf files do you have in /usr/local/etc/pfSense/pkg/repos ?

            The repos directory has three config files for 23.09.1, 24.03 and 24.11

            -rw-r--r--  1 root wheel 512 Mar 18 16:45 /usr/local/etc/pfSense/pkg/repos/pfSense-repo-23_09_1_rel.conf

              OK first try running: pfSense-repo-setup then re-check.

                pfSense-repo-setup command did not return any message, so it should be a clean execution.

                [23.09.1-RELEASE][...]/root: pfSense-repo-setup
                [23.09.1-RELEASE][...]/root: ls -l /usr/local/etc/pfSense/pkg/repos/*.conf
                -rw-r--r--  1 root wheel 512 Mar 18 19:22 /usr/local/etc/pfSense/pkg/repos/pfSense-repo-23_09_1_rel.conf
                -rw-r--r--  1 root wheel 506 Mar 18 19:22 /usr/local/etc/pfSense/pkg/repos/pfSense-repo-24_03-rel.conf

                After saving the 24.11 update branch in the system update via GUI, symlink still stays with 23.09.1

                  Hmm, weird. Is it not updating the line in the config perhaps?

                  Anyway you should be able to run:
                  rm /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/pfSense.conf

                  Then:
                  ln -s /usr/local/etc/pfSense/pkg/repos/pfSense-repo-24_11.conf /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/pfSense.conf

                  That should allow it to see the 24.11 upgrade.

                    ln -s ... command created the symlink pointing 24.11 conf and it is verified too.

                    [23.09.1-RELEASE][...]/root: ls -ls /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos
                    total 4

                    When I tried to update via Sys => Update => System Update, the page returned 'Up to date' status with 23.09.1 as the base and latest versions. Symlink verification for pfSense.conf shows that the config reverted to 23.09.1. It seems the problem lies with the GUI.

                    [23.09.1-RELEASE][...]/root: ls -ls/usr/local/etc/pfkg/repos
                    total 4

                    Should I retry the update via option 13 after recreating the symlink?
                    Will it cause problems?

                      Try running pfSense-upgrade directly after creating the symlink.

                        Sorry for my belated response. The firewall cannot be taken offline immediately.

                        I executed the pfSense-upgrade command, but it did not upgrade the firewall. I verified the pfSense.conf symlink before and after command execution. It looks like the pfSense.conf again reverted to 23.09.1.

                          OK check the config file. What branch is it saving there?

                          Or change the branch then check the config history. You should see it switch from 23.09.1 to 24.11.

                              But what does it show in the main pfSense config.xml file? That's where pfSense-upgrade it triggering it be pulled from.

                              I can't imagine why it would not be getting updated but....

                                I assume the main pfSense config.xml you are referring to is the file in /cf/conf/config.xml. <system/> section is the point of interest, I believe, as it contains information related to host, users, groups and webui.

                                	<system>
                                		<optimization>normal</optimization>
                                		...
                                		<already_run_config_upgrade></already_run_config_upgrade>
                                		<pkg_repo_conf_path>/usr/local/etc/pfSense/pkg/repos/pfSense-repo-24_11.conf</pkg_repo_conf_path>
                                		<firmware>
                                			<disableautobe></disableautobe>
                                		</firmware>
                                		<gitsync>
                                			<repositoryurl></repositoryurl>
                                			<branch></branch>
                                		</gitsync>
                                		...
                                	</system>
                                

                                The <pkg_repo_conf_path> directs to the 24.11 configuration file and the file has links to the 24.11 repo.

                                Should <firmware/>and <gitsync/> sections have values pointing to 24.11?
                                Or am I looking at the wrong place?

                                  No that's all correct. Weird.

                                  What happens if you try upgrading to 24.03 first?

                                    After changing the update branch to 24.03 via System => Update => Update Settings, the main pfSense config.xml's pkg_repo_conf_path changed to 24.03 repo.

                                    <system>
                                    	...
                                    	<pkg_repo_conf_path>/usr/local/etc/pfSense/pkg/repos/pfSense-repo-24_03-rel.conf</pkg_repo_conf_path>
                                    	...
                                    </system>
                                    
                                    

                                    The symlink points to 23.09.1. I changed it manually and initiated an upgrade, but the result is the same and the main pfSense config.xml's pkg_repo_conf_path changed to 24.11 repo.

                                    The entire process is unclear to me since the upgrade process started with a lower version (24.03) but was completed with the lowest version (i.e., the original base version:23.09.1), and recorded in the config.xml with the latest version (24.11).

                                      Ok I managed to replicate this locally. I think!

                                      Just visiting the webgui upgrade page resets the symlink to the correct branch

                                      So first set the repo branch back to 23.09.1. Then run: pkg upgrade -f pfSense-repoc

                                      Assuming it offers a downgrade allow that like:

                                      [23.09.1-RELEASE][root@plusdev.stevew.lan]/root: pkg upgrade -f pfSense-repoc

                                        As you mentioned, I switched repo branch to 23.09.1 via System => Update => Update settings, and config.xml's pkg_repo_conf_path changed to 23.09.1.

                                          Hmm, OK different problem then! You can see repoc was not downgraded.

                                          OK try setting the repo back to 23.09.1 then running: pkg upgrade -f

                                          Don't agree to the upgrades but check to see what packages it offers to downgrade.

                                            I do not see any offers for downgrade, rather the packages for upgrade and reinstall are listed.
