See if Troubleshooting a Broken pkg Database helps.

Also see The safest practice is to remove all packages before upgrading to a new release.

With the first two commands there was no problem

[2.5.0-RELEASE][admin@router.home]/root: /bin/mkdir -p /var/db/pkg/ /root/var/db/pkg/

The third command I received this message

There you have it :

@firefox said in After upgrading version 2.5.0 it is not possible to update the packages:

process with pid 96727 still holds the lock

Did you asked yourself : who is this process ID : 96727 ?
Let me bet on this one : it's called 'pkg' ;) Which means another pkg instance is already running.
I've seen this in other forum posts.

Look at Diagnostics > System Activity
Or far better : use the SSH (or console) access, option 8 and

ps ax | grep 'pkg'

Stop process 96727 :

kill 96727

My advise :
Always stop the services of the big packages that you want to upgrade.
With big I mean : snort, suricata, ntopd, Traffic_totals etc.

edit : see the forum for recent ntopd issues.

I did a search in the forums for that word
The only result is your post here

You may need to manually remove /usr/local/etc/pkg.conf if it is no longer needed.

After that I tried to update and it does not work

I did everything again and then restarted the system and then I tried to update and it also did not work
