      Every click in the package manager adds another one etc.

      Opened the WebGUI to 1421 messages -.-

      Yikes! I wouldn't expect that many update checks even if it is failing every time. 🤔

      But try running: pfSense-repoc -ND and pkg-static -d update and see what errors are shown.

      If it's failing every time like that it may have lost the repo conf data or by trying to use invalid data.

        As described, pkg-static throws unknown errors. And "normal" pkg is in an unusable state as its too high for the current repo -> ld.elf errors.

        If you're interested, I'm available to discuss details of German-speaking paid support (for companies) if needed.

          Yes the lib errors for the non-statically linked pkg are normal if an update was ever seen. But pkg-static is provided for that reason.

          However you're hitting something different there. 'Unknown error' is unfortunately unhelpful!

          Try resaving the package repo branch.

            Other than producing new errors again, that does unfortunately nothing

            Switching to the RC instead brings a simple

            /pkg_mgr_install.php: The command '/usr/local/sbin/pfSense-repo-setup -U' returned exit code '12', the output was ''

            and switching back to 25.7.1 still does nothing new.

              Hmm, I hit this on one test VM but after rebooting it was able to connect fine so I was never able to troubleshoot further. Are you able to reboot that as a test?

                I'm running CE version 2.8.1 and just got one of these messages. Here are some observations:

                Here's the message:

                "check_upgrade: "Updating repositories metadata" returned error code 1 @ 2025-11-21 02:17:59"

                When I go to this page...

                https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/releases/versions.html#id5

                ...I see this:

                c4c9863a-eefe-4a38-a9b1-f7d0db6c03e4-image.png

                When I check "page info" on my browser, I see this:

                29927386-4994-46a4-8c0b-e3e0a469a3e2-image.png

                Note the timestamps.

                  So? An update to the release notes documentation page doesn't mean anything. Also others have other timestamps as they were checking their systems at other times.
                  In addition I have the same problem running plus where the 25.11 docs page is up for days/weeks. Nothing to see there.

                  That's a nope. For the reboot-fixing-stuff. Just rebootet the device - came up again, still does have the errors popping up.

                      @JeGr These were my observations. For all I know, the change that triggered the error code could be related to something else occurring in another repository at the same time. Or, it could be a clue to a common mode fault. Do you know how often pfSense polls updates?

                        It checks for available upgrades every 24hrs or whenever you open the dashboard if you have the system info widget on there.

                        But it will try to update the pkg db any time you do a pkg operation.

                          I might've been checking Package Manager or Patches at the time. And, yes, I have a System Info widget.

                            But it will try to update the pkg db any time you do a pkg operation.

                            The error got triggered way more then that. I have logs where it essentially spammed the syslog while noone was logged in so no dashboard etc.

                            Also on another note: the "failed" PKG that is now a way higher version and can't be run essentially blocks the LLDPD package from running as it throws the same elf-ld.so errors around. So if someone could please fix that new pkg package being pushed downwards to 25.07 when NOT trying to update, that would be great, as it essentially fucks up a few packets that won't work anymore :/

                            I have to manually run pkg-static install -f pkg and forcefully downgrade it to 1.21.3_5 again so my services come up again.

                            when the next push happens and pkg happens to happily update to an incompatible version again, those will all go down the again. I don't think it's helpful to have pkg always update to a new version when not even trying to upgrade (e.g. to the RC) especially when other packages have dependencies to the same libraries as pkg does. So given for example for said LLDPd.

                            Cheers

                            edit: just as an example from yesterday night's log just before the rotation. logged in around 11:30pm so waaay later then the logs show. So that error - when it happenes - is not only triggered every 24h or when pkg ops run - something triggers it often and hard.

                              @JeGr said in check_upgrade: "Updating repositories metadata" returned error code 1:

                              essentially blocks the LLDPD package from running as it throws the same elf-ld.so errors around.

                              Hmm, that's unexpected. pkg is the only think that would ever update itself. The non-static version then fails because the libs are not updated.

                              Do you have the output error shown by lldpd?

                                      OK that seems fine. You might try: pkg-static -d update

                                      But I would expect pfSense-upgrade to throw an error if that does.
