Unable to retrieve package info from https://packages.pfsense.org.

Issue seems to be solved?
Didn't touch anything here, but have https access again + was able to install packages.

You got to love it ;D

Hi!

Can confirm. Two of my 2.1.4 installations now show Available Packages with out any problems.

It would be fun to know if the pf-team did something to the packet-server. Did you? ;)

Hey guys!

I have still problems with IPv6 access to packages…
Unable to communicate with www.pfsense.com. Please verify DNS and interface configuration, and that pfSense has functional Internet connectivity.

Also see this:

IPv6 validation for http://www.pfsense.com

AAAA DNS record 2610:160:11:11::69
IPv6 web server web server is unreachable : No route to host
IPv6 DNS server

And:

IPv6 validation for https://packages.pfsense.org

AAAA DNS record 2610:160:11:11::88
IPv6 web server web server is unreachable : Connection timed out
IPv6 DNS server

What is going on here?
On IPv4 works just fine.

I have no snort blocks and all other IPv6 services and sites are working just fine for me.
This is happening on 2 different pfSense boxes, one 2.1.4 and other 2.1

Regards,
Greg

Guys,

I am having the same issue and pfSense won't allow me to install any new packages.

php: /pkg_mgr.php: XMLRPC request failed with error 5: Didn't receive 200 OK from remote server. (HTTP/1.0 403 Forbidden)

I also receive "faultCode 105 faultString XML error: Invalid document end at line 1" when trying to access https://packages.pfsense.org/xmlrpc.php.

If I open https://packages.pfsense.org/ the only thing I see is "packages.pfsense.org".

Anybody shares the same issues?

Heelp :)

It appears that packages.pfsense.org now has an IPv6 address and pfSense package manager does not implement Happy Eyeballs and thus is failing to fallback to IPv4 if you have IPv6 enabled but no successful connection through the Internet.

I removed my default IPv6 route and the package manager sprung back to life. I was testing routing IPv6 over OpenVPN with a ULA prefix.

Given that Happy Eyeballs only exists in (quoting from your link): Google's Chrome web browser, Opera 12.10, Firefox version 13, and Mac OS X Lion, I'm going to hand this back to you with a, "patches accepted".

IPv6 isn't active on my boxes. So i don't think it's a problem with ipv6

I had the same issue, but found that I had disabled 'WAN_DHCP6' in Gateways. I enabled this again and could then install packages.

I was in this trouble yesterday, the problem was fixed when I choose to UPDATE (pfsense) FROM CONSOLE.
Cheers,
