[SOLVED] pkg upgrade - not found, required by "pkg"

MoonKnight

Why can't I use this command anoymore?

pkg upgrade

Got this error:

Only run pkg

I have been using this command for a long time, last time maybe 1 - 2 weeks ago when i was a newer version og HaProxy. and I also updated Tailscale to newer version for 1 week ago.
Was using the command posted on this site: https://forum.netgate.com/post/1225210

@MoonKnight Often those sorts of errors are from installing packages for later versions of pfSense but there are probably other reasons. Have you tried:

You did it! Everything is all fine now after running:

pkg-static clean -ay; pkg-static install -fy pkg pfSense-repo pfSense-upgrade

Thank you very much, I was looking at that command earlier, but was afraid I might harm my installations

@MoonKnight Had you previously installed the beta of 25.07?

Ran into this today. I had installed HAProxy a few weeks ago thinking I might use it, also installed the latest update, decided I didn't need it and uninstalled. Now this issue. Just throwing this out there, don't know if HAProxy was the problem, but the suggested commands cleared it up.
