ERROR: Error trying to get packages list. Aborting…

[NOYB]

Been seeing this for a while now (couple weeks or so) at end of boot up on both 2.4 and 2.3.

ERROR: Error trying to get packages list. Aborting…
pkg: No package(s) matching pfSense-pkg-*

Is your local pkg repo configured to look at somewhere else? Maybe you have the FreeBSD repository enabled?

[NOYB]

If it is don't know how it would have changed.  And on both system s at the same time after an update on the same day.  I never intentionally changed it on either system.  Guess I should have made a note about which day it started.

Is that the repository url option found under the update settings?

If so it is still set where it's always been.  git://github.com/NOYB/pfsense.git
Which has up to date copies of the pfSense branches I use: master, RELENG_2_3, RELENG_2_3_2

[jimp]

No that would be the repository configuration in /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/

[NOYB]

Here's what I have.  Anything look wrong?

/usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf

FreeBSD: { enabled: no  }

Link:
/usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/pfSense.conf
/usr/local/share/pfSense/pkg/repos/pfSense-repo-devel.conf

FreeBSD: { enabled: no }

pfSense-core: {
  url: "pkg+https://beta.pfsense.org/packages/pfSense_master_amd64-core",
  mirror_type: "srv",
  signature_type: "fingerprints",
  fingerprints: "/usr/local/share/pfSense/keys/pkg",
  enabled: yes
}

pfSense: {
  url: "pkg+https://beta.pfsense.org/packages/pfSense_master_amd64-pfSense_devel",
  mirror_type: "srv",
  signature_type: "fingerprints",
  fingerprints: "/usr/local/share/pfSense/keys/pkg",
  enabled: yes
}

Same for 2.3 but it's url's.

/usr/local/share/pfSense/pkg/repos/pfSense-repo-devel.conf
  url: "pkg+https://beta.pfsense.org/packages/pfSense_v2_3_i386-core",
  url: "pkg+https://beta.pfsense.org/packages/pfSense_v2_3_i386-pfSense_v2_3",

[jimp]

Hmm, looks right

[NOYB]
