Update from 2.3-rc to 2.3.1-development - issue following snapshots by GUI
-
I ran into exactly the same problem yesterday and have not found a solution.
Hope someone knows what to do.
-
Same problem for me, after one of yesterdays update.
I tried setting up the update to Follow 2.3 snapshots and move automatically to -RELEASE and after pkg update -f and pkg upgrade -f I could check for updates in the Web Interface, but obviously I was on 2.3 STABLE.
Change back to Keep following 2.3 development snapshots and after all the updates, I get again the Unable to check for updates / Unable to retrieve system versions error…
Updating from console Option 13 is working.Waiting for a fix…
-
For those following 2.3.1, the issue there was a regression in pkg 1.7 that broke its output formatting we use. That was just fixed a bit ago, if you run 'pkg update' via SSH, it should prompt to upgrade to pkg 1.7.2_1, which will fix that.
If you're reading this thread and not intending to follow 2.3.1 snapshots and want release versions, this isn't relevant. Go here.

Thanks, problem solved…..

… if you run 'pkg update' via SSH, ...
What is the significance of doing this via SSH? Will it work via physical console?

It'll work fine from the physical console too. I just noted SSH so people wouldn't try to run it under Diag>Command (where it could potentially hang up the GUI, and you wouldn't get real-time output from it).

Kind of what I figured. Just wanted to be sure there wasn't some weird quirk about it needing a virtual console (ssh).
-
Will the ordinary console option 13 update process pick this change up?
-
This is strange… I didn't run the pkg update command yet. But today the WebGUI update is showing the versions. Go figure. I did do console option 13 but only to see if there was an update. Didn't apply it. Said (N)o.

I used winscp to connect via SCP and used the command windows to execute "pkg update" but it does nothing.
Says everything is up to date, yet I can't check packages or check if there is a system update.
