Upgrade from 2.3.4-RELEASE-p1 to 2.4.2 appears to have failed.
-
I waited a while before attempting to upgrade from 2.3.4 to 2.4.2 as I am one of those people with PPPOE with VLAN tagging on my WAN connection. After playing around with the Update settings, I finally got the system pointed to 2.4.2. So from the GUI, I attempted to upgrade. It said it had over 100 individual packages that need to be updated and it appeared to have downloaded and installed them all. After a reboot, however, the pFsense package appears to still be stuck on version 2.3.4.
The Dashboard reports:
2.3.4-RELEASE-p1 (amd64)
built on Fri Jul 14 14:52:43 CDT 2017
FreeBSD 11.1-RELEASE-p4The system is on the latest version.
After this I attempted to update with option 13 from the ssh menu and I get the following:

Error updating repositories!The DNS configuration worked just fine for updating before this last attempt from the console. Nothing has changed. I am almost ready to let it be as the system is still connecting me to the Internet, however, the dashboard is showing a ridiculous number of errors and collisions.

My "2.4.2" install shows :
2.4.2-RELEASE (amd64)
built on Mon Nov 20 08:12:56 CST 2017
FreeBSD 11.1-RELEASE-p4So the - your - kernel is upgraded.
Restart ?
Or save config and clean install to be sure to reach the goal fast without issues.
Check-out also the many forum threads about related subjects. -
The system has been restarted several times. I was hoping not to have to do a clean install as the device is in a somewhat inconvenient location. I have seen the threads but many of them reference development versions of 2.4 and it wasn’t clear how much was applicable to my situation. Thanks for responding.
