Solved - Update broken - Always saying i'm on latest vers

Gent's

I have a problem with one of my pfSense boxes , well only the update part.

I have 2 Qotom Core i5's running 2.4.0-Beta

One box is detecting new updates fine , it's a remote box that i will upgrade when onsite.

The other i have @Home , and it stopped detecting new updates , after i updated it last friday the 18'th Aug.
I have no problems with the box, and it's working fine. But it doesn't seem to detect the latest updates anymore.

Doing a ssh admin@pfsense & select opt 13 (upgrade from console) , returns errors

Enter an option: 13

*** Welcome to pfSense 2.4.0-BETA (amd64) on  ***

It seems like it lost track of all installed packages too, and no packkages are available.

Edit:

Any hints on how to fix the broken one ?
Would really prefer not to reinstall it.

TIA

Seems to be solved

I switched to the devel repos , and saved.
Then i switched back to the stable repos , and saved.

No updates or anything , just switch & save.

Now i get this on my previous "Bad box"

Wonder what happened ??

A diff of the new (ok) config.xml , and the previous (bad)
Shows that this has been added to the (ok) config.

		 <gitsync><branch></branch></gitsync> 
		<pkg_repo_conf_path>/usr/local/share/pfSense/pkg/repos/pfSense-repo.conf</pkg_repo_conf_path>

And my installed packages & available packages are back too  ;D
