      Do you have key files in /usr/local/share/pfSense/keys/pkg/trusted/?

      You should have, for example, pkg.pfsense.org.20160406 and beta.pfsense.org.20151223 in there.

      [2.3.2-RELEASE][admin@bast.int.unixathome.org]/root: ls -l  /usr/local/share/pfSense/keys/pkg/trusted
      total 1
      -rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  95 Jul 19  2016 beta.pfsense.org.20151223
      -rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  95 Mar 30 11:34 pkg.pfsense.org.20160406
      

      Do you see any error messages when you run 'pkg update -f'? No need to use pkg-static now since the empty file that was causing the crash was removed.

      If you see the errors, run 'pkg -dd update -f' and share the output

      Here we go

            Interesting, you have CE keys but your system is configured to use factory repositories. I just don't know how this key ended up there. Did you make any custom change on this system? Is it expected to be a factory system or CE?

              CE is community edition, I'm guessing.

              pfSense was installed when I got this box (Netgate APU2).

              Does that answer?

                Yes, CE is community edition.

                If you are using Netgate hardware you are supposed to be running factory. Now the question is how the CE key ended up on your system. Did you install any package manually? changed anything while testing?

                I'll send you factory public key.

                  Yes, I know I installed at least one package (bacula-client) from my own repo. I know that was September 2016 because it was during EuroBSDCon.

                  Later, I recall some pkg update which drew down from my repo.  That messed stuff up, so I went to a backup to restore service.

                      On a side note, since correcting the key, this feature on the pfSense home page now works.  It has been broken for some time.  I think we know why.

                      Version 2.3.3_1 is available.

                            I cannot thank you enough Renato. I've been tearing my hair out for a few months with this issue before stumbling upon your suggestion here. Sure enough, /usr/local/share/pfSense/keys/pkg/revoked/.empty was there - and the moment it was removed, presto! All I wanted to do was install man :'(.

                            This will be pinned prominently in my notebook! (Though all other systems I manage have been upgraded past 2.3.3!)

                            Cheers,

                            Sam.

                            @Renato:

                            It's exactly what I suspected. There is a bug in pkg that causes this crash. You can see details here:

                            https://github.com/freebsd/pkg/pull/1586

                            We already fixed it in pfSense before submit the patch to upstream, and based on truss output we can see:

                            The presence of the empty file /usr/local/share/pfSense/keys/pkg/revoked/.empty is the cause. I suspect there is a /usr/local/share/pfSense/keys/pkg/trusted/.empty file too. Just remove them and it will work as expected. As soon as you update pkg to latest version bug will be fixed.
