Fail to upgrade 2.3_1 to 2.3.1

iam

I now have done the upgrade manually:


pkg unlock pfSense-kernel-pfSense
pkg update -f
pkg upgrade -f
pkg lock pfSense-kernel-pfSense
reboot

At the moment I don't have any problems.

Mine fails with the following error when trying 'pkg unlock pfSense-kernel-pfSense'.

I get 'pkg: Error accessing the package database'.

I'm also using a 4GB NanoBSD install - Seems a few others are too.

Is the filesystem mounted read/write?

EDIT: If yes try


pkg update -f

first.

This works fine here, but this is not the final solution, or?

Yes, with the Update to 3.1_1 I had the same problem.

Can also confirm I've managed to upgrade successfully to 2.3.1-P1-RELEASE via SSH. Before the upgrade I disabled Permanent Read/Write in the web GUI. Rebooted, re-enabled and the upgrade went smoothly.

ALIX 2C2 with a 4GB CF.

Many thanks

Thanx!

Same problem - fix works, except in the event your mounts are ro, you need to start with /etc/rc.conf_mount_rw:

/etc/rc.conf_mount_rw
pkg unlock pfSense-kernel-pfSense
pkg update -f
pkg upgrade -f
pkg lock pfSense-kernel-pfSense
reboot

Done! ;)

It seemed to take a lot longer than the UI - but maybe that's because you can see the progress of every pkg.
Cheers!

No it takes longer because of the option -f. I think it should also work without it:


pkg upgrade

pkg upgrade

With it reinstalls alls packages. I did the upgrade to 2.3.1_1 without this option, and it worked also perfectly.

The same procedure with 2.3.1_5
