      Looking for help with my upgrade from the experts.

      went through the upgrade, and despite it saying that it's on freeBSD 15.0 current, the release version still says 2.7.2.

      also, it was giving me an error regarding the repositories. however i rebooted and it seems to have gone away.. at least for the moment.

      Can anyone shoot me the command to run that'll re-update and verify the repositories? I could google it but i get a bunch of different answers and i'm not sure which one is correct for this installation of pfsense...

      Thank you!!

        regarding the repo issue, the package manager shows that there aren't any packages available. suricata and pfblockerng-devel are both installed and seem fine..

          At the command line run: pkg -d update

          See if that returns any errors and that it's checking the 2.8 repos.

            fortunately I came across a command that updated whatever needed to be updated and after doing a hard reboot, all reported back properly and so far all seems to be working.

            unfortunately, i forgot to copy down the command and where I got it from so i can't put it up to help others.

              It was probably just pkg upgrade or some variation of it. That will offer to upgrade any remaining pkgs that didn't get upgraded during the normal pfSense upgrade.
