"Assertion failed" from pkg durign 2.3.2 upgrade
-
I hit a similar problem when upgrading through the webapp. All the packages appeared to install correctly, but on reboot my version appears to still be 2.3.1, the version check on the dashboard fails. I followed the instructions to do: "pfSense-upgrade -d" from the shell and get the following:

I split this off the other post because it was not related.
Try running "pkg update -f", see if it produces any errors. Then try "pkg update" (without the "-f"). If neither of those show an error, see what "pkg upgrade" does.
Also check what version of pkg you have, you can see that with "pkg info -x pkg"

Thank you!
'pkg update -f' and 'pkg update' report no errors.
'pkg upgrade" yields a similar error:
Updating pfSense-core repository catalogue…
pfSense-core repository is up-to-date.
Updating pfSense repository catalogue...
pfSense repository is up-to-date.
All repositories are up-to-date.

I think I've worked around the problem.
I ran "pkg info" from the shell and noted all pfSense packages that remained "2.3.1_1".
I ran "pkg install" for the "2.3.2" version of each of these versions, including "base", "config", and finally "pfSense".
It uninstalled a dns related package and installed "dnsmasq" but now it reboots, identifies as 2.3.2, and seems to be functioning correctly now.
