      @Bluebrain:

      pkg: Repository pfSense-core cannot be opened. 'pkg update' required
      pkg: Repository pfSense cannot be opened. 'pkg update' required

      Any ideas, how to fix that?

      Hint:

      @Bluebrain:

      'pkg update' required

      Obvious enough ?

      ;)

              I'm having this same exact problem since upgrading to 2.3.2-RELEASE on the Nano distribution. I couldn't install _p1 and now can't install 2.3.3.

              pkg update -f works fine (437 packages processed) but pkg upgrade pkg just results in Your packages are up to date. without having installed anything. I'm on pkg version 1.9.4. Is that the latest? (How can I check?)

              What can I try next?

                Doing a fresh install and restoring the config will be probably couple of days faster than debugging braindead pkg package "manager".

                  That's what I was going to try next time I'm on site. It's a good opportunity to switch to the regular distro since Nano is being dropped in 2.4 from the sounds of things.

                  Can I restore a 2.3.2 Nano config onto a fresh 2.3.3 Regular system?

                    Yes, that works just fine. (Assuming it's the same HW, otherwise I'd recommend to edit the assigned interfaces in the XML to match the new box.)

                      You could try the process described here: https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=125873.msg695386#msg695386

                      (switching to development, starting a upgrade freom console, saying no, switching back to stable)

                      That might force a reinstall/refresh of the whole pkg database and "trick" it into knowing what it should do.

                      But make sure to have a backup of the config first, and be ready to take @doktornoktor advice above.

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

                        One more question: I have two boxes in failover config. Will there be any problems if one is running Nano while the other is on Regular?

                        Thanks so much for the help!
