      I am having a similar issue going from 2.4.1 to 2.4.2_1

      pkg info -x pfsense Shows:

      pfSense-2.4.1
pfSense-Status_Monitoring-1.7.3
pfSense-base-2.4.1
pfSense-default-config-2.4.1
pfSense-kernel-pfSense-2.4.2_1
pfSense-pkg-Cron-0.3.7_2
pfSense-pkg-Status_Traffic_Totals-1.2.1_2
pfSense-pkg-System_Patches-1.1.7
pfSense-pkg-bandwidthd-0.7.4_1
pfSense-pkg-squid-0.4.42
pfSense-rc-2.4.2_1
pfSense-repo-2.4.2_1
pfSense-upgrade-0.40
php56-pfSense-module-0.54

      and running "pfSense-upgrade -d" did not solve the problem.

      also noticed that if i changed from "latest stable version (2.4.x)" to "latest development snapshot (2.4.x DEVEL)" it said that i was up to date.

      any ideas?

          I am having a similar issue.  I did an upgrade from 2.3 via service console

          dashboard states:
          2.4.2-RELEASE (amd64)
          built on Tue Dec 12 13:45:26 CST 2017
          FreeBSD 11.1-RELEASE-p6

          Widget Netgate services and support continues to spin stating "Retrieving support information"

          I also tried pfSense-upgrade -d, and it stalls at " Updating repositories metadata.

          Now, I think I broke it by deleting some *.conf file on the initial upgrade as the installed recommended removing it.  I do not remember what it was.

          So on the assumption I 'bricked' it, how can I reimage it?  It was purchased from Netgate ( Netgate SG-4860)
          Netgate device ID: 67f61d3cb8fa0b145112

          Found reference in manual to got netgate portal (I have gold membership) to DL the image.  I cannot find a link for downloading an image.

          The pfSense site has a select for Netgate ADI under architecture, but I don't know if this is it or not.

          Thanks for any help!

          Thanks

            Success!

            After quite a bit of Googling, I was able to find the solution.

            I now have a fully functional SG-4860 again!

            Once I was able to put the pieces together, the process was simple and painless.

              Does anyone have a solution for when it won't update either from the Web gui or the command line?

                Save your config, then reinstall 2.4.2-1 from scratch, then upload old config

                11 cheers for binary

                  This is a good solution, except its difficult to do remotely.

                  Any other ideas?

                    Ship a prepared unit to the site, and have the installed one shipped back ?

                    No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
                    Edit : and where are the logs ??

                      Again, this would require the end user to know what to do with it.

                      Does anyone know the actual cause of this issue? And a command to fix it?

                        different version numbers, same issue. Anyone got an idea about this one?

                        Today's output from the command "pfSense-upgrade -d" is:

                        >>> Updating repositories metadata...

                        output from "pkg info -x pfsense" is:

                        pfSense-2.4.4
pfSense-Status_Monitoring-1.7.6
pfSense-base-2.4.4
pfSense-default-config-2.4.4
pfSense-kernel-pfSense-2.4.4

pfSense-rc-2.4.4
pfSense-repo-2.4.4
pfSense-upgrade-0.59
php72-pfSense-module-0.64_6

                        It appears it can't get out to the internet:

                        PING 8.8.8.8 (8.8.8.8): 56 data bytes
ping: sendto: No route to host
ping: sendto: No route to host
ping: sendto: No route to host

                        Which is strange because the connection is definitely up. We have a gateway group with 2 WAN connections. One is down, the other is up at the moment.
