Cannot view installed packages, "Unable to retrieve package information."

Update 5 for pfSense 2.3.1 was a waste of time and effort,
this update gave problems on almost every firewall device i worked on.
A clean install with the new version 2.3.2 fixed all those rare problems like :
No packages available after upgrade
2u time for updating from 2.3.1 to 2.3.1.5
PHP errors during bootup
pfSense installation corruption on reboot
etc….
Update 5 should never be released, and they had to stick by 2.3.1 till the next stable version 2.3.2 was ready.
From now on, on Watchguard Firewalls i install only the stable releases and not the crappy updates in between.
