[10/8 SNAPSHOT] Updating Issue "Another instance is already running…Aborting!"

[Finger79]

I'm on 2.4.0 RC October 8

Option 13 gives me "Another instance is already running… Aborting!"

When typing in pkg update -f from Shell I get:

Updating pfSense-core repository catalogue...

se-core.sqlite) failed: No such file or directory

then after a couple minutes:

pkg fetch -y pkg

Same results as above.

pkg -ddd upgrade -n gives:

(screenshot only captures first screen of output)

Output ends with:

Unable to update repository PfSense
Error updating repositories!


[Finger79]

pkg -ddd upgrade -Fn gives:

(screenshot only captures first screen of output)

Output ends with:

Unable to update repository PfSense

Similar results with:

pkg -dddd upgrade -n

and

pkg -dddd upgrade -Fn

Update:  I gave up trying to fix this and just chalked this up to a bad snapshot from 10/8.  I did a reinstall with the 10/9 snapshot, and things are back to normal.
