Upgrade from 2.3.2 to 2.3.3 fails (some packages are locked)

You should use pfSense-upgrade or the 13/ option from the menu, not pkg upgrade.

Enter an option: 13

When is the last time this machine was rebooted?

It has been rebooted yesterday when the upgrade failed.

It has been rebooted yesterday when the upgrade failed.
Before or after the upgrade failed?
Has the upgrade been attempted immediately after a reboot?

The pfSense was up since many weeks when I tried the first upgrade attempt. It failed, I rebooted. Retried an upgrade that failedagain.

Really even if you reboot 249 times, if won't fix the braindead pkg. Dunno where that idea came from.
-
even if one pray while rebooting ? :)
more seriously, any idea about this problem ? what about manually unlocking locked packages ? what would be the consequences ?
-
Cannot imagine how would that do more harm, can try that if you are bored.
