            1/ You do NOT use pkg for PBI junk.
            2/ Fix your real problem (broken connectivity) instead.

              I can install the packages that have not previously installed. Packages that have been set up to update pfsense (upgrade 2.2.4) is not updated or not installed. This is not a problem in the internet connection.

                  Connectivity is apparently NOT OK… Perhaps, stop shooting yourself in the foot with proxies and it will download better?

                      As hinted above. Get rid of proxy and webfiltering, then try again.

                          I have a similar experience. pfBlockerNG failed to install after uppgrade from 2.2.3 to 2.2.4. Snort installed without problem.

                            I had a similar issue getting packages to install after the update but a simple reboot fixed it.

                              It helped only reinstall pfssense.
                              My wan ip (1) 192.168.192. * The provider uses NAT 1: 1 –---->>>>Unable to retrieve package info from https://packages.pfsense.org. Cached data will be used

                                Same problem here. After installing pfSense 2.2.4 "fresh" (on a Intel Core2Duo 2.5GHz white box with 1GByte RAM), the Package manager is not able to download the OpenVPN Client export utility in my case. Tried this and other packages over several days, the same result every time.

                                Using the download links mentioned in any of the error messages in a browser, I can download all packages without a problem. An example link:  https://files.pfsense.org/packages/10/All/zip-3.0_1-amd64.pbi

                                There is no proxy on my own network and the command TRACERT (Windows, sew me ;)) shows no apparent proxies or DNS problems either. My topology is a simple one: internet <<>> pfSense router <<>> unmanaged switch <<>> my computer

                                The provided links point to *.pbi files only. Where can I find alternatives for manual installation?

                                The titles of posts in the pfSense forum from sections 'OpenVPN' and 'Installation and Upgrades' do not look to cover the problem. However, that is the general inability of people to describe their problem concisely.

                                A forum search using term "cannot download" resulted in this https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=100128.msg557921#msg557921, but that doesn't work either.

                                *Edit:
                                The solution mentioned at the link above is only half of the solution. There are 2 check boxes on the mentioned pfSense 2.2.4 configuration page. The first one needs to be off/disabled, the second one needs to be on/enabled. After I did that, I was able to install packages.

                                The 1st checkbox in this case is called: Allow DNS server list to be overridden by DHCP/PPP on WAN
                                The 2nd checkbox in this case is called: Do not use the DNS Forwarder or Resolver as a DNS server for the firewall
