      Greetings community. I'm having a strange issue trying to upgrade. I went through the process initially using the web GUI, but failed. Unfortunately I didn't capture the failure message. I then rebooted and tried via the console and got the below. Nothing happens, the system does not reboot and the version stays as is. I have installed Suricata, ntopng, and openvpn client export packages. I've tried multiple reboots and attempts, no-go. Any help is appreciated , or if its easier to just re-install and restore I'll do that.

      uname -a

        Welp, I just installed 2.3.3 fresh overwriting the old system and restored the backup .xml. Worked like a charm! Bravo for the backup/restore routine.

          I have been able to upgrade my Fireboxes without any issues. And any new ones I have built with 2.3.2 I have been able to upgrade to 2.3.3 without any issues.
