      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/
      [2.5.0-RELEASE][admin@router.home]/root: /usr/local/sbin/pkg-static update -f

      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.

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

                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

                      The only command that did anything is

                      pkg-static upgrade -f
                      

                      It brought everything back to version 2.4.5

                      How do I upgrade to 2.5.0 if the upgrade does not work well ?

                        In that case apply the Last Resort option.
                        If that doesn't work, call your ISP and terminate your relation with them, as the issue is upstream.
