      On my 2.3.3-RC that was on "Stable" (because that is what was done when 2.3.3-DEVELOPMENT became 2.3.3-RC - to avoid ending up on 2.3.4-DEVELOPMENT), I:

      1. switched to development on GUI Update Settings
      2. used console option 13 to make it look for the development package database, and when it asked to upgrade I said N
      3. switched back to stable on GUI update settings
      4. used console option 13 again, and it found the "right" stable stuff, said "y" to upgrade

      I am not sure if that sequence should really be needed, but for me it got the system recognize the "new stable" and upgrade to it.

      As the Greek philosopher Isosceles used to say, "There are 3 sides to every triangle."

          Yeah I'm pretty sure the pkg thing urgently needs a brain transplant.

            Sofar all looks good…

            The graphs scaling seems to be off?  Pretty thin graphs.. Am I missing something here?

                  I had to switch to development branch once and then back to stable until I was offered the update to final 2.3.3 over the 2.3.3-RC I previously had. There were some error messages (the update page outright showed "Upgrade failed" after starting the update),  the update progress indicators and the output didn't quite match what was actually done, the system rebooted before the output indicated a succesful install of the required packages. The update worked fine though after the reboot.

                    Am I the only one who is still showing 2.3.2 on the system info, but 2.3.3 in the update tab?  I am not sure if this is a big deal.

                        Ive got one box that seems to want to stick to 2.3.2 as well..  Fought with it several times yesterday. Its nano and really slow..  Im trying this now.  Ill update if this works for this one.  All my others upgraded without a hitch.

                          I got the 2.3.3 Upgrade notification and after confirming, it seemed to go through the gyrations to do so but after my dual-Atom pfsense box automatically rebooted (and subsequent manual reboots by me), the version shows to be 2.3.2 RELEASE-P1 and "Unable to check for updates".  Will keep trying but unsure how to proceed.

                              and check what's there.

                                  As far as I can tell the system has been updated but the dashboard is still reporting 2.3.2 as my picture shows.

                                  Do

                                  
                                  cat /etc/version*
                                  
                                  

                                  and check what's there.

                                  Thanks for the help.  Here is the output from the command:

                                  "2.3.2-RELEASE
                                  Tue Sep 27 12:13:07 CDT 2016
                                  e936f18c1ad0b847cc1133d376f9950f4770c360
                                  0"

                                  So my upgrade didn't complete, if this info is correct.

                                      Same here : all ok;

                                      (but : I'm using the dyndns RFC 2136 - and something went wrong, what can be seen when you use the GUI 'DynDNS'  widget. I found out what is was : the usage of the separators "|" and ":" are mixed up (/etc/inc/services.inc I guess) when assembling the IP cache files - so the 'explode' will fail later on. I'll post some more details later on.)

                                      No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
                                      Edit : and where are the logs ??

                                        Successfully upgraded four stand-alone pfSense firewalls, three virtual, one physical, without incident.

                                        Then, I successfully upgraded five pairs of redundant pfSense firewalls, handling production workloads, in the middle of the day, without incident.

                                        The last three upgrades I have performed on our redundant Cisco firewalls were not as smooth.  Great work guys, truly great work, thank you.

                                            @phil.davis:

                                            On my 2.3.3-RC that was on "Stable" (because that is what was done when 2.3.3-DEVELOPMENT became 2.3.3-RC - to avoid ending up on 2.3.4-DEVELOPMENT), I:

                                            1. switched to development on GUI Update Settings
                                            2. used console option 13 to make it look for the development package database, and when it asked to upgrade I said N
                                            3. switched back to stable on GUI update settings
                                            4. used console option 13 again, and it found the "right" stable stuff, said "y" to upgrade

                                            I am not sure if that sequence should really be needed, but for me it got the system recognize the "new stable" and upgrade to it.

                                            Did the same to get the WebGUI to offer 2.3.3-RELEASE (i386), I updated with the WebGUI, it rebooted, updated and then I got a double fault crash after starting the package.

                                            I had a similar double fault crash last week after switching from Development to Stable in order to get 2.3.3-RC, but I didn't update before the system crashed while saving an alias and applying change.
