Issues after upgrading from 2.4.0 to 2.4.2
-
Hi,
On my pfsense it looks like I ran into some issues during the last upgrade (done through the Web UI).
First I wondered that my OpenVPN Server did not work. I found out that my "Encryption Algorithm" list was empty. After some research I found this Thread:
https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=130345.0So I checked my Version of the OpenVPN Server, which is the following
[2.4.0-RELEASE][admin@xxx]/root: openvpn --version OpenVPN 2.4.4 amd64-portbld-freebsd11.1 [SSL (OpenSSL)] [LZO] [LZ4] [MH/RECVDA] [AEAD] built on Oct 8 2017 library versions: OpenSSL 1.0.2m-freebsd 2 Nov 2017, LZO 2.10 Originally developed by James Yonan Copyright (C) 2002-2017 OpenVPN Technologies, Inc. <sales@openvpn.net>Compile time defines: enable_async_push=no enable_comp_stub=no enable_crypto=yes enable_crypto_ofb_cfb=yes enable_debug=yes enable_def_auth=yes enable_dlopen=unknown enable_dlopen_self=unknown enable_dlopen_self_static=unknown enable_fast_install=needless enable_fragment=yes enable_iproute2=no enable_libtool_lock=yes enable_lz4=yes enable_lzo=yes enable_management=yes enable_multihome=yes enable_pam_dlopen=no enable_pedantic=no enable_pf=yes enable_pkcs11=no enable_plugin_auth_pam=yes enable_plugin_down_root=yes enable_plugins=yes enable_port_share=yes enable_selinux=no enable_server=yes enable_shared=yes enable_shared_with_static_runtimes=no enable_silent_rules=no enable_small=no enable_static=yes enable_strict=yes enable_strict_options=no enable_systemd=no enable_werror=no enable_win32_dll=yes enable_x509_alt_username=no with_crypto_library=openssl with_gnu_ld=yes with_mem_check=no with_sysroot=no</sales@openvpn.net>
I also wondered that the CLI is telling me that I am still running 2.4.0-RELEASE
WebUI is also telling me 2.4.0
Version 2.4.0-RELEASE (amd64) built on Tue Oct 10 06:43:01 CDT 2017 FreeBSD 11.1-RELEASE-p4
but the update page is telling me 2.4.2
Current Base System 2.4.2 Latest Base System 2.4.2 StatusUp to date.
I tried to update on the Shell without any success.
[2.4.0-RELEASE][admin@xxx]/root: pfSense-upgrade -d Usage: lockf [-Ah] [--credential=principal] [--cache=cache] [-c cache] [--all] [--no-unlog] [--no-delete-v4] [--version] [--help] --credential=principal remove one credential -c cache, --cache=cache cache to destroy -A, --all destroy all caches --no-unlog do not destroy tokens --no-delete-v4 do not destroy v4 tickets
Has someone an idea how to troubleshoot and hopefully fix this?
Many Thanks!

https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Firmware_Updates#Version_2.3_and_newer
In 2.3 and newer versions, the update system is pkg-based, changing the available update methods. Upgrades are performed either under System > Update in the webGUI, or option 13 at the console. Manual updates are no longer available, and systems must be Internet-connected to update.

tanks johnpoz.
as mentioned above, the System > Update in the webGUI shows me that I am already on 2.4.2 and cannot update.
In Fact, using option 13 is the same as "pfSense-upgrade -d".so using opt 13 brings up exactly the same message and does not work:
0) Logout (SSH only) 9) pfTop 1) Assign Interfaces 10) Filter Logs 2) Set interface(s) IP address 11) Restart webConfigurator 3) Reset webConfigurator password 12) PHP shell + pfSense tools 4) Reset to factory defaults 13) Update from console 5) Reboot system 14) Disable Secure Shell (sshd) 6) Halt system 15) Restore recent configuration 7) Ping host 16) Restart PHP-FPM 8) Shell Enter an option: 13 Usage: lockf [-Ah] [--credential=principal] [--cache=cache] [-c cache] [--all] [--no-unlog] [--no-delete-v4] [--version] [--help] --credential=principal remove one credential -c cache, --cache=cache cache to destroy -A, --all destroy all caches --no-unlog do not destroy tokens --no-delete-v4 do not destroy v4 tickets *** Welcome to pfSense 2.4.0-RELEASE (amd64) on ldkpf01 ***
My issue is not that I do not know how to update. My issue is, that the update did not work correctly (still reporting 2.4.0 on the dashboard and on the cli) and invoking the update process again does not work.

You could try
pkg-static update
pkg-static upgrade -f -
not sure where you got that 13 is the same as the command you were running?
When I run it I get
Enter an option: 13
Updating repositories metadata…
Updating pfSense-core repository catalogue...
pfSense-core repository is up to date.
Updating pfSense repository catalogue...
pfSense repository is up to date.
All repositories are up to date.
Your packages are up to dateWhy are you showing
Usage: lockf
not sure what that has to do with the update process?
Not sure what command is running but when I run lockf I get
lockf
usage: lockf [-kns] [-t seconds] file command [arguments]Looks like something is failing with the
kdestroy [-Ah] [–credential=principal] [–cache=cache] [-c cache] [–all] [–no-unlog] [–no-delete-v4] [–version] [–help]
–credential=principal remove one credential
-c cache, --cache=cache cache to destroy
-A, --all destroy all caches
--no-unlog do not destroy tokens
--no-delete-v4 do not destroy v4 ticketsNot sure why that would run in an upgrade process?
Not sure what thread you where package-upgrade was ever a command you would run? There is a package called pfSense-upgrade-0.35.txz that would get installed when you upgrade.. you can see all the different packages in the repository here.

Option 13 : https://github.com/pfsense/pfsense/blob/a1035bd86c368e37adabc069da9793ee9c5b3c77/src/etc/rc.initial#L139
So that calls pfSense-upgradeSource file pfSense-upgrade.wrapper becomes pfSense-upgrade
https://github.com/pfsense/FreeBSD-ports/blob/95f77ea6c2c6291d3af6543c1e9391451b672867/sysutils/pfSense-upgrade/Makefile#L30Which calls lockf: https://github.com/pfsense/FreeBSD-ports/blob/801d6095ac824f8d5677c9b6e07f317313048207/sysutils/pfSense-upgrade/files/pfSense-upgrade.wrapper#L43
So manually running pfSense-upgrade isn't really that different from running option 13, and internally does call lockf..
Now the bigger question is why does lockf complain about parameters.. Is the updatescript not updated and lockf is or the other way around.?. or something else the problem..@EarlBacid
The output of pkg-static update / pkg-static upgrade -f as requested by Perforado might be interesting though.. -
Hi,
First of all, Thank you very much for your help, I really appreciate this!
The output of the pkg-static update / pkg-static upgrade -f commands are the following:
[2.4.0-RELEASE][admin@xxx]/root: pkg-static update Updating pfSense-core repository catalogue... pkg-static: Repository pfSense-core has a wrong packagesite, need to re-create database Fetching meta.txz: 100% 940 B 0.9kB/s 00:01 Fetching packagesite.txz: 100% 2 KiB 1.8kB/s 00:01 Processing entries: 100% pfSense-core repository update completed. 7 packages processed.

executing these commands did not change any behavior of my system (just in case this would have been expected)

The output of the pkg-static update / pkg-static upgrade -f commands are the following:
[2.4.0-RELEASE][admin@xxx]/root: pkg-static update -f Updating pfSense-core repository catalogue... Fetching meta.txz: 100% 940 B 0.9kB/s 00:01 Fetching packagesite.txz: 100% 2 KiB 1.8kB/s 00:01 Processing entries: 100% pfSense-core repository update completed. 7 packages processed.

Notice anything?
Btw. a fresh install with config recovery takes only a few minutes.

@Grimson: you got a valid point!
I reinstalled my pfsense and now my OpenVPN Tunnel is working again :)
