      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

                    i try all
                    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.
