I upgraded without issues to 2.3.3 last week, suddenly, yesterday, I started to see "The system is on a later version than
the official release." in the GUI.I did not change or do anything since the upgrade so this is certainly coming from somewhere else.
Thanks.
-
Same for me. This is what I see on the update page. 0.19??
-
Not sure if we now have an official solution to this, but, do we know why this happened?
(Just when I thought upgrade issues had been ironed-out…).Thanks.

N.B.: I merged several identical threads together, so if it appears that people didn't see/read earlier responses, it's likely because they were not originally part of this thread, so be kind in replies.
If you are seeing this and still experience the issue, please re-read this post starting from the first page.

seeing 0.20 now
-
I just applied patch 0.20 to my systems.
System rebooted afterwards and looking healthy again.
To be clear, the update is valid right? Not a cosmetic bug.
I thought the update was part of the new patch-system.
Thanks for the great work! -
There was an update for pfSense-upgrade, not the whole system. That update is good/legitimate.
-
Yeah.. since i pressed the update key in the notion of "nothing bad will happen", i was NOT expecting a full reboot…....
But well.. A couple of unhappy faces can be survived on a late friday i guess ::)

I've pushed a fix, it's on pfSense-upgrade 0.19.
pfSense-upgrade was considering its new version as a new firmware version. The issue is harmless and if you finish the upgrade nothing bad will happen.
Fix is on version 0.19. As soon as it's available it's safe to manually run 'pkg upgrade pfSense-upgrade' on console to go to latest verssion.
This issue is being tracked at https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/7343
Sorry for the inconvenience
So the only way to fix this "issue" is to run pkg upgrade pfSense-upgrade from the console?
And it won't reboot the box ? -
Dunno about the console command, but running the upgrade on the web-gui updated AND rebooted… But showing "you are on the latest version" now, so its "good" :)

Mine also showed the "upgrade" to 0.20 and after pressing Confirm to let it do it, all is well reporting 2.3.3
The issue is that there are multiple "parts/packages" that make up "pfSense". Normally "parts" would be released along with actual new code that has a "proper" release version. So it would find the "main" version to display and say that "2.3.4" (for example) is available. But in this case there have been some changes/fixes to the bit called pfsense-upgrade going from about 0.16 to 0.20. The GUI code sees that 0.20<2.3.3 and thus says that the system 2.3.3 is newer than what it thinks is the release version (0.20).
I guess the code that parses the results of checking for upgrades needs to be smarter, and understand what pieces might come separately from the complete release. Then it needs to work out how to explain to the user that the "main" version is still 2.3.3 but that some component(s) upgrade is available.

The proper solution to this would be to present two types of updates to the user, one that is the "firmware" level update and one that only updates the individual packages within a version of the firmware.
