No pfSense upgrade and packages available

stijnrosaer

Hello

I have some issues with my netgate sg-1100. It indicates that there are is no upgrade of pfSense available and no packages to be downloaded.

This is the version of pfSense that I am running now:

2.4.4-RELEASE-p3 (arm64)
built on Thu May 16 06:01:19 EDT 2019
FreeBSD 11.2-RELEASE-p10

Can someone help me?

Kind regards,
Stijn

@jimp I do not have the possibility to select previous stable version. When executing

pkg-static clean -ay

I get this error.

pkg-static: Repository pfSense-core missing. 'pkg update' required
pkg-static: No package database installed.  Nothing to do!

So executing

pkg update

I get another error

Updating pfSense-core repository catalogue...
pkg: Repository pfSense-core load error: access repo file(/var/db/pkg/repo-pfSense-core.sqlite) failed: No such file or directory

For that last error, we have had some reports of that happening due to a fairly rare race condition. If you power off (not reboot, actually unplug) and power back on it should reset the affected chip on the board.

We have a fix for that coming in the next release so it will be more robust in that regard.

I added a note about that to the troubleshooting page:

@jimp said in No pfSense upgrade and packages available:

if you power off (not reboot, actually unplug) and power back

I could read that as "rip out the power and put it back.
Hummmm.

Let's copy your detailed steps here :

Navigate to Diagnostics > Halt System
Click fa-stop-circle Halt
Wait for the device to shut down. Monitor the console to ensure that the shutdown completes.
Only now unplug the power adapter
And plug the power adapter back in
