      Trying to upgrade my system from 2.4.0-BETA to RC.

      Current version:
      2.4.0-BETA (amd64)
      built on Fri Aug 18 00:32:41 CDT 2017
      FreeBSD 11.0-RELEASE-p11

      From the GUI it says no upgrades found.  From the CLI:

      Updating pfSense-core repository catalogue…
      pfSense-core repository is up to date.
      Updating pfSense repository catalogue...
      pkg: Repository pfSense load error: access repo file(/root/var/db/pkg/repo-pfSense.sqlite) failed: No such file or directory
      pkg: https://pkg.pfsense.org/pfSense_v2_4_0_amd64-pfSense_devel/meta.txz: Not Found
      repository pfSense has no meta file, using default settings
      pkg: https://pkg.pfsense.org/pfSense_v2_4_0_amd64-pfSense_devel/packagesite.txz: Not Found
      Unable to update repository pfSense

        Visit System > Update, Update Settings tab, make sure Stable is selected and click Save (even if you didn't change anything).

        Then run "pkg update -f" and try the upgrade again with "pfSense-upgrade -d".

          Was already at stable, but went in and re-saved it like you suggested.  No bueno:

          pkg update -f

            Under Update Settings, if you switch to Development Snapshots, does it find those files?

            It's looking in the wrong place, but it's not clear why it's looking in that specific place when it doesn't seem to be doing that for anyone else.

              That's what I assumed when I saw the -devel.  So I switched to development, it found those.  Switched back to stable, it found the RC.  Weird, but that works, thanks!
