Beautyfull !
Yes, the removal of the link-files freed up the update & recreation processes.
Thanks PiBa.

Just freshly installed pfSense-CE-2.4.0-BETA-amd64-20170119-1521.iso on a KVM.

Same error:

pkg: No package(s) matching pfSense-kernel-*

Issuing

pkg install pfSense pfSense-base pfSense-default-config pfSense-kernel-pfSense pfSense-rc pfSense-repo pfSense-upgrade

seems to have fixed it.

Maybe related to changes introduced in Bug #7086?

Does this still happen on a current snapshot?

Nope, Renato fixed it. I also reinstalled my primary system today, all fine.
