      I just manually installed the latest snapshot.  Perhaps a contributor turned on some additional debugging in the updater widget, but it spit out the following output:

        I think I finally figured it out… I'm using the new unbound DNS Resolver, and had the following option unchecked under System->General Setup:

        -Do not use the DNS Forwarder as a DNS server for the firewall

        I noticed I was getting a failed resolution for snapshots.pfsense.org, so I enabled that option and it started working correctly under the System->Firmware->Auto Update tab.  I'm still getting the extra debug output in the System information widget under "Version", but I think that's actually a PHP error in the latest build.

        I'll report back if it succeeds in finding the next update.  Thanks a lot for your help!

          FYI - this did end up fixing the issue.

            Same issue as emce, and unchecking that same box worked to fix it for me as well.

              Did you have any name servers filled in under System > General?

                I do.  I'm using Google's servers, followed by those of my ISP.

                On a related note, I'm continuing to see the erroneous output in the Version section of the System Information widget:

                  Can you check /etc/resolv.conf to see if the name servers are actually there?

                    Sure thing.  Here's the contents:

                    $ cat /etc/resolv.conf
                    search <mydomain>.com
                    nameserver 8.8.8.8
                    nameserver 8.8.4.4
                    nameserver 75.75.75.75
                    nameserver 75.75.76.76</mydomain>

                      In that case it should have been able to resolve, unless you can't reach any of those servers

                        I've tried toggling the "Do not use the DNS Forwarder as a DNS server for the firewall" option on and off, and can successfully reproduce the issue.  I don't seem to be having any other resolution issues off of this box at the moment.  Definitely odd.

                          anything relevant in your resolver log? Status>System logs, Resolver.

                          What does the output of:

                          sockstat -4 | grep 53
                          

                          run from a command prompt show?

                            Ok… scratch me from having the problem. I was actually having an issue with unbound (see that thread). I just unchecked that setting and it's still checking for updates.

                              I'm assuming you'd like this output from the "error" state, ie, "Do not use the DNS Forwarder as a DNS server for the firewall" is toggled off for the following…

                              Current sockstat output:

                              $ sockstat -4 | grep 53
                              unbound  unbound    67721 10 udp4   10.0.0.1:53           *:*

                              unbound  unbound    67721 12 tcp4   127.0.0.1:953         *:*
                              root     miniupnpd  40431 16 udp4   10.0.0.1:5351         *:*
                              ?        ?          ?     ?  tcp4   <myip>:53366   192.12.94.30:53
                              ?        ?          ?     ?  tcp4   <myip>:12766   192.41.162.30:53</myip></myip>
                              

                              I didn't notice anything relevant in the resolver log, but this basic block is repeated:

                                You're not binding to localhost, so it fails when you tell it to use localhost.

                                That should skip 127.0.0.1 being added to resolv.conf in that circumstance to avoid breaking with such misconfigurations. There's a problem of some sort there, looking.

                                  Just a note to say that this seems to be normal behavior on startup. I guess it starts and then sends it SIGHUP or whatever messages that are causing it to reload (what would be an unchanged config at that point). I don't think any harm is done. A side-issue to the issue of this thread.
                                  Ref this post: https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=84474.0

                                  As the Greek philosopher Isosceles used to say, "There are 3 sides to every triangle."

                                    You're not binding to localhost, so it fails when you tell it to use localhost
                                    …

                                    I've updated the resolver to bind to localhost as well as the LAN IP and it did correct the issue.  I don't remember modifying that, but apparently I did at some point.

                                    Thanks!

                                      That should skip 127.0.0.1 being added to resolv.conf in that circumstance to avoid breaking with such misconfigurations.

                                      That problem is fixed.

                                      While there, I also added input validation so if you have the system configured in such a way that 127.0.0.1 would normally end up in resolv.conf, it forces you to pick Localhost in the bindings list in Unbound or check "Do not use the DNS Forwarder as a DNS server for the firewall" to allow it to be omitted.
