[SOLVED] Unable to update for 2.3.4 version

[empbilly]

Hello guys,

As I had commented in another topic, my pfsense is not showing the update. This pfsense is only for use of the captive portal as an authentication method for our wi-fi users.

• This behind the edge firewall (pfsense)
• This is in a vlan and has public IP
• Functional DNS
• I can install packages

I tried edit directly to the file /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/pfSense.conf and upgrade via shell with option 13, but without success.

In the logs the only entry that seems to be related to the problem is,

May 6 08:28:32	kernel		pid 97292 (pkg), uid 0: exited on signal 11 (core dumped)
May 6 08:28:23	kernel		pid 85018 (pkg), uid 0: exited on signal 11 (core dumped)

Maybe the pkg is broken? The strange thing is that I have to update pkg via pkg upgrade pkg and no error occurs.

Is there any other way I can force this update?

Okay. After many attempts and a lot of research I believe I got it.  ;D

I executed the following commands in shell prompt:

Re-create the pfsense repo;

pkg-static update -f

(Re)Install pfsense-base;

pkg install pfSense-base

After that webGui shows the update for me and I execute the last command in shell.

pfSense-upgrade -d

If it still does not work after the above steps. Try the commands below and retry the commands above.

pkg-static install -f pkg

and

pkg shell
CREATE VIRTUAL TABLE pkg_search USING fts4(id, name, origin);
pragma user_version=33;
.exit

after

pfSense-upgrade -d

For that last command, I think you mean:

pfSense-upgrade -d

@phil.davis:

For that last command, I think you mean:

pfSense-upgrade -d

Yes phil. Thanks!  ;D

Hi All,

I have issues with update from 2.3.3-RELEASE-p1 to 2.3.4.

Web GUI says: Unable to check for updates.

From command line, I got the following:

pfSense-upgrade -4

Updating repositories metadata…
Updating pfSense-core repository catalogue...
pkg: https://pkg.pfsense.org/pfSense_v2_3_4_amd64-core/meta.txz: Not Found

Unable to update repository pfSense

DNS resolution and internet connection are working fine.
I have copied and tried to get the file via browser, but it seems update site has issue:
404 Not Found
nginx/1.10.3

Can you please help me?

Now, everything works!

Did not help me! Here my result:

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

Any idea?
