      @jimp:

      Actually you could reinstall the packages to get back to a good state:

        Might be that some pkg file is partially corrupted? Can you try (im assuming the name of the pool is zroot):

        zpool list
        zpool scrub zroot
        zpool status -v zroot
        

        Keep running the last command until its done scanning the disk.

            Try logging what its doing, might show that it fails to read (part of) some file? After a minute or two check the logfile possibly showing lots of commands repeating/hanging at the end of the log.. The try and find what if any file it was busy with at that time.?.

            
            truss -o /root/truss_pkg_upgrade.log pkg upgrade
            
            

            Not sure if this is the best way, but it did help me find some problem files once..

              Thanks again for pointing the methods. And I concluded that the database is missing.
              So reinstall is mandatory I think.

                Hm but the command 'pkg upgrade' itself completed correctly right, what was the one that failed.? I dont have those -journal and -wal files myself either might be normal..

                Was the failure with installing the pfsense package parts? Can you try?:

                truss -o /root/truss_pkg_install.log pkg install pfSense pfSense-base pfSense-default-config pfSense-kernel-pfSense pfSense-rc pfSense-repo pfSense-upgrade

                    So the "SIGNAL 2 (SIGINT)" is probably from you pressing Ctrl+C, and before that its looping over the same 4 commands..
                    What happens right before it enters that 'loop'?
                    Can you check if /var/cache/pkg/ exists, and all files seem 'valid' no 0 byte files or something? Or just throw the whole pkg folder in there away or rename it.?.

                      Can you disable memory disks if you have those enabled? For me on a regular full install it isn't a 'linked' folder..

                          My vote go's to getting rid of those linked pkg folders..

                          The place that "pkg -> ../../root/var/db/pkg" points to doesnt seem to exist.. I would try and delete it. And also from /var/cache/
                          pkg should recreate the cache folder itself when it downloads new stuff..

                            Beautyfull !
                            Yes, the removal of the link-files freed up the update & recreation processes.

                              Just freshly installed pfSense-CE-2.4.0-BETA-amd64-20170119-1521.iso on a KVM.

                              Same error:

                              pkg: No package(s) matching pfSense-kernel-*
                              

                              Issuing

                              pkg install pfSense pfSense-base pfSense-default-config pfSense-kernel-pfSense pfSense-rc pfSense-repo pfSense-upgrade
                              

                              seems to have fixed it.

                              Maybe related to changes introduced in Bug #7086?

                                Does this still happen on a current snapshot?

                                  Nope, Renato fixed it. I also reinstalled my primary system today, all fine.
